1972 TYPE 48 SPYDER

1,995cc. Based on a Triumph Spitfire MK IV donor, with a most attractive GRP bodywork that pays homage to a certain Italian race car that was introduced in the late 1940's. The original Triumph 1300cc engine has been replaced with a 2.0 litre Fiat twin cam unit, running twin Weber carburettors. Although we are informed that the engine has been running recently, the clutch cable/mechanism will require attention and the carbs would benefit from being overhauled. Replacement rear shocks and springs are required. Owned by our vendor since 1993 and correctly registered with the DVLA as a Type 48 Spyder. It comes with various documents including some MoTs and photos. 10,158 recorded miles
