Registered in August 1980 - the same month that production of the Triumph Spitfire ceased - this Inca Yellow example has had six registered keepers and is now showing 75,528 miles on its odometer. As an historic vehicle, it no longer requires MoT-testing; its last expired in August 2022 after having been tested the previous year at an indicated 75,479 miles. The car, which was restored around 2016, is reported as running well and reliable, with no issues to the best of the vendor's knowledge. Stated upgrades include improved brakes, a sports exhaust, tuned engine and electronic ignition, with recent work including a service, new battery and back axle seals replaced. The condition of the hood is described as very good. 

Accompanying the Triumph is its V5C, original book pack with owner's handbook and Passport to Service (stamped up to 25,876 miles in July 1986) and a large stack of of invoices, plus old MoT certificates. There's also a spare set of keys as well.
