Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1964 Triumph Spitfire MKI, first registered in August 1964, is offered for sale by a family friend of its orthopedic veterinary surgeon owner. While it requires some cosmetic and mechanical attention, including bodywork, interior restoration, and engine repair, it has a valid MOT certificate with no advisories, making it a rolling restoration project.
Condition
5
The car needs some TLC, including bodywork (localized refurbishment or full respray), restoration of chromework, replacement of the folding fabric roof and rubber windscreen seal, restoration of rusty dashtop ashtray and steering column cover, re-varnishing of the steering wheel, and sorting out the handbrake gaiter. Mechanically, the engine is only firing on three cylinders and the floor on the passenger’s side needs work.

Although needing some love and attention (hell, don’t we all?) to bring it back to the condition it deserves, it is nonetheless in possession of an advisory-free MOT certificate – and if this winter doesn’t provide the time and space, when are you going to be able to carry out that restoration you keep saying you’d love to do? It’s a lovely early example too, and while the Spitfire is currently under-valued, we can see that cars like this MKI will be the ones leading the charge.
Being offered with no reserve, it’s going to sell from the very first bid, so you might even be able to pick up a bargain… The early bodyshell has a simplicity that many feel the later cars lack.
Less contentiously, the green bodyw...
