Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1964 Triumph Spitfire MkI has been fully restored in the late 1990s, with only 20k miles since. It features a rebuilt GT6 2.0 engine, overdrive, leather seats, walnut dash, and Le Mans alloy wheels. Recent service and upgrades make it a well-suited continental tourer.
Condition

The car underwent a total nut-and-bolt restoration between 1995 and 1998 and has been regularly maintained since then. The odometer shows 75,785 miles, with only 20,000 miles covered since the restoration. The engine was fully rebuilt in 2009 and has only covered 10,500 miles since. Although it is MOT-exempt, it has been tested regularly, with the last MOT expiring in January with no advisories recorded. The car has tasteful upgrades such as leather seats, a walnut dash, a stainless steel exhaust, and Le Mans alloy wheels. Additionally, it comes with a good hood and tonneau cover, spare burgundy leather, and a Haynes workshop manual. This suggests the car is in very good condition.

In 1994 it was acquired by Gary Stretton of Classics Monthly magazine who was to keep it until 2013.
Between 1995 and 1998 he treated the car to a total nut-and-bolt restoration, as documented by a vast file of invoices and many photos on file.
