Vehicle Description
Here is an absolutely beautiful, all original 1980 Triumph Spitfire
1500 convertible that is truly one of the finest in the world. This
car only has 9,901 pampered original miles on it. It spent many
years in a private collection in California and in Arizona, and has
been in climate controlled storage in FL for last 5 years, so the
car is totally rust free. It has always been well stored, taken
care of and maintained and it shows. This car is as close to
showroom new as your going to find one. It was ordered with the
only two options you could get on a Spitfire, which are a hardtop
and overdrive. The car still even retains its original window
sticker, owner's manual and dealer sale brochure. This is a super
desirable Inca Yellow car with a black and white hounds tooth
interior and it is completely all-original. It is optioned
identical to the last Spitfire built in 1980 which sits in the
British Motor Heritage museum. The car is near flawless and looks
like it just came off the showroom floor. The car is believed to
have a storied history, with owners including an actress in
Hollywood and a doctor/surgeon in the Napa Valley. The second to
last owner was a serious car aficionado with an extensive
collection of cars in the Scottsdale area. The car has excellent
rubber and beautiful crystal clear glass. It has all original
decals and rubber bumpers. The original black soft looks like new
with its original black top boot. The car spent much of its life in
California, although the original window sticker shows that it may
have been initially shipped to the Midwest. The BMH certificate
says it was destined for California.The car runs and drives like
new. This Spitfire is completely stock, numbers matching and very
well maintained. It has its original 1493cc Inline 4cyl engine with
a 4-speed transmission and option overdrive.
