Matthew Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) 1970 Triumph Spitfire Mk3 for sale. The car has been partially restored by myself and, more-so, the previous owner and is solid throughout. The only welding required is a small (2 inch square) hole near the rear bumper mount on the passenger rear wing and some very small holes around the inner rear wings where they join the top of the valance (see the photo of the bare metal valance. This is now painted). The bulkhead has been given a couple of costs of the original body colour (white) and is currently stripped of the master cylinders, wiring etc. so those need finishing and put back on before the car can be started. The boot lid is a new seconds lid that needs tidying up from light transit damage at the top left corner. The bodywork was stripped to bare metal and treated with phosphoric acid prior to painting with a zinc oxide primer. It has been garaged throughout. Sills, floor plans, bulkhead and boot floor all solid and have been repaired or replaced to a good standard. There are some dents in the rear wings and front edge of the bonnet that require pulling out that I hadn’t got too. I’d removed the filler when sanding black so can confirm it is solid metal. The engine hasn’t been fired for roughly 3 years but does turn by hand. It is not the original engine but is an FD block and is correct on the V5. The brakes are seized on so need releasing before the car can be moved. The car will need trailering away. I’d say the car is about 90% complete but will mainly need nuts and bolts, some interior trim and a carpet set. The seats need recovering but the frames are ok. Other bits may need replacing as you go along. Will need a new hood too. Selling as I don’t currently have the time and health to complete so selling to buy something I can use now requiring less work. I’ll add more photos in the next day or two when I can We are in Stafford near junction 14 of the M6. £1500 or near offer. I do have some spares requiring reconditioning to throw in too such as brake calipers and hubs. Selling an alternator conversion kit and new exhaust separately but will consider bundling at the right price for the car. Please message me if interested.
