Triumph : Spitfire Convertible 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500

VehicleDescription:----------Awesome gas mileage!

Thisis my super nice 1976 Spitfire as you can see from the photos.  Runs like a charm! It is a southern car withvirtually no rust.  I have includedpictures of the work done to the body which amounted to removing minor dings.It drives well.  The differential is a3.27:1 replacing the original 3.89 which compensates nicely for this 4 speedwith no overdrive.  I suspect but do notknow for sure that the engine was rebuilt—is quiet and does not smoke. Goodseat upholstering.

Includedis an original owner’s manual and a well-worn but usable Haynes Spitfiremanual.
