1980 TRIUMPH SPITFIRE ONE REGISTERED OWNER FROM NEW

1493cc. This Vermillion Spitfire 1500 has had just one registered keeper from new and presents in superb all-round condition. The original Passport to service that comes with the car contains the first service stamp at 891 miles in March 1981 from Dutton Forshaw but was subsequently serviced and maintained by the owner as his father worked for a British Leyland dealership. A meticulous collection of MoTs shows that it has been kept on the road every year until 2020, accruing hardly any advisories and supports the low mileage of 38,739

This Spitfire is quite a late example being first registered in December 1980 (after production had ended) and equipped with hardtop, optional overdrive and period cassette player. The underneath of the car has been Ziebart treated from new. Standard type stainless steel exhaust. In 1998 a new unleaded head was fitted. It comes with an owner's book pack and the current V5C. Its latest MoT expired in 2021, although it is exempt from requiring one.
