Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1973 Triumph Spitfire MkIV, finished in striking Magenta, benefits from a recent engine rebuild and fuel system overhaul. While the bodywork needs attention due to corrosion, it comes with a new vinyl roof and a substantial file of invoices, making it a mechanically sound project car.
Condition
6
The car is described as mechanically strong due to a recent engine rebuild and fuel/ignition system work. The interior presents well with age-related wear. However, the bodywork requires attention with corrosion to the sills and other areas. This puts it in the 'Good' category, as it needs some reconditioning but is overall solid.

IV, finished in period Magenta, a colour that perfectly complements the model’s lively character and unmistakably British sporting proportions.
