Triumph Spitfire Mark I 1963 / Manual

This Spitfire was delivered new to the United States in 1963. It has recently undergone extensive work.

Condition :

General: The car is in excellent condition, both cosmetically and mechanically.

Exterior: The bodywork is very shiny. However, there are a few cracks in the doorsteps. The owner indicates that the car has been repainted in its original colour. The wheels, recently repainted, are in excellent condition. The same goes for the chrome and wheel trims, which are in excellent condition and sparkling. The headlamps and windows look good.

Interior: The cabin is in very good condition. The upholstery is in very good condition, with no holes or tears. The dashboard and carpets are in excellent condition and all the on-board instrumentation is functional.

Powertrain: The engine starts and runs perfectly and the car revs very well. As far as the gearbox is concerned, the ratios are well guided and don't creak. The clutch has just been replaced. The car handles very well on the road.

Chassis and underpinnings: The underpinnings are very sound and free from perforating corrosion. Photos are available on request.
