1965 Triumph Spitfire
VIN FC40432L
What’s special about this listing
This 1964/1965 Triumph Spitfire Mk.1 was a project my father put together by my father sometime in the late 70's/early 80's. It was pieced together from (1) 1964 and (2) 1965 donors. I have some vague memories of the car's bonnet being green and the doors and rear being red before he had it painted in the early 80's. The paint is black with red and blue pearl flash if I recall correctly, but it's been sitting in a storage unit since the late 90's. I remember my father having the upholstery redone around the same time it was painted. I can remember riding around in the car in my early teens, but I don't think the car was running when it was put into storage. Unfortunately my father passed a little over 2 years ago, so I'm helping my mother try sell some of his old projects to someone that can use them. I found a few parts while cleaning the garage that will go with the card.
