Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1970 Triumph Spitfire, an overdrive model with refurbished original carburetors, sold below its estimate at £3,400. Although dry-stored since 2010, it has not run in two years due to a missing fuel line, requiring significant attention before use.
Condition
3
The car has been dry stored since 2010 and has not been started for 2 years due to the owner's health. A small piece of rubber fuel pipe is missing, and the vendor explicitly states not to try and start it. While the engine has refurbished carburetors and the overdrive model is noted, the lack of recent operation and missing component indicates it requires substantial reconditioning.
