Description

For Sale: 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500 with overdrive. I have put a lot in to making sure this is a mechanically sound car. She is road ready, smogged, and registered for the next year. She is mainly down to window dressing now - this is the fun stuff with a visual sense of accomplishment anyway. With that being said, she looks nice as she is. She is a California car, shows 30,000+ on her speedo (previous owner said it was accurate), and I bought her from the son-in-law of the original owner - who bought it new in 1976 in Oakland (license plate frames are original).
