1970 Triumph Spitfire Mk III This 1970 Triumph Spitfire Mk III was acquired by the seller in 2024, and subsequent work consisted of overhauling the 1,296cc inline-four as well as installing a rebuilt four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Modifications include 13" Minilite-style wheels, Spax shock absorbers, a rear camber compensator, PerTronix electronic ignition, a Weber carburetor, a Moto-Lita steering wheel, a tubular header, and aftermarket exhaust components. Finished in yellow over black vinyl upholstery, the car is equipped with a black soft top and boot, front disc brakes, and a Sony AM/FM cassette stereo. This Mk III Spitfire is now offered with removed and spare parts, service records, and a clean California title in the seller’s name. The car was finished in Saffron Yellow (54) from the factory, and it is said to have been repainted around 2009. Exterior details consist of a chrome front bumper with overriders and auxiliary bar as well as a black soft top, rear bumperettes, and bullet-style door mirrors. The soft top is torn, and photos of cracked, chipped, and touched-up paint are available upon request. Minilite-style 13" alloy wheels are mounted with 175/70 Kumho Sense tires that were installed in 2018 along with a rear camber compensator and adjustable Spax CSX front and KSX rear shock absorbers. The trunnions were rebuilt and the brake master cylinder, rear brake components, steering rack boots, sway bar links and bushings, and front brake hoses were replaced in 2016. The bucket seats are upholstered in black vinyl that extends to the door panels, and additional interior appointments include a parcel shelf under the right side of the dashboard and a Sony AM/FM cassette stereo. A shifter anti-rattle kit was installed in 2016. The upholstery on the left seat is torn. A wood-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel fronts a 6,500-rpm tachometer and supplementary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 20k miles, approximately 9k of which were added under current ownership. The speedometer is inoperative, but the odometer does function, according to the seller. The speedometer pinion seal and cable were replaced in 2016. Total mileage is unknown. The MK IV D-type four-speed manual transmission features an electrically actuated overdrive unit, and it was rebuilt in 2020 by Quantumechanics of Oxford, Connecticut before it was installed. The differential was resealed and the driveshaft, clutch, and clutch hydraulic cylinders were replaced under current ownership. The removed stock steering wheel, spare parts, and service records from current ownership are included in the sale. Asking $8,000. Contact: Aaron Fishleder [aaron.fishleder@gmail.com] 707-486-1894

In 1986 my growing family out grew my 1974 TR-6 with overdrive. I parked it in the driveway thinking I would drive it when they left home. Didn’t happen and now my TR6 needs a new home. Original owner, California car. Completely as it came from the factory except rag top and tires. 131,000 miles. It’s been parked and covered since 1986 but it needs work. Was driven daily and in perfect running order the day it was parked. Car is in Modesto. Asking $4,000. Contact Tom [tomdrew@pacbell.net]

I purchased the TR6 in 1979-80. It was driven until around 1983 or so and then parked in a garage since then. I believe there was a clutch issue at the time. The odometer reading is 95,000 miles. I had a mechanic go through the engine last month. Put in a new battery and plugs. Did get the engine to turn over but not catch. The mechanic came back a week later and the engine would no longer turn over. He thinks material fell into the inside of the engine and its stuck. The car does have rodent damage to the plastic and rubber tubing parts inside the engine as you can see in the pictures. The rag top has rodent damage as well but overall, the car exterior is in good shape with all the accessories (sun visors, lights, original rear view mirror) except I cannot find the car horn cover the steering wheel. It's been rolled out of the garage to get better pictures. I have the cover for the car (also with some rodent damage) when the rag top is down. In addition, I have new wiper blades, molding, and a new dash. Car is located in the Eureka, California area. I am asking $5,000 or best offer. You can use my email (kekovacs@asis.com) or cell phone number (707) 502-9491.

1980 TR-8 $15,000 or best offer. My car was purchased in 1987 and currently has approximately 13,500(113,500) miles on the odometer. It has always lived in a garage. The car has a roll bar and was set up by Bondurant for the previous owner but has never been raced. With the exception of a modern ignition the carbureted engine is as it left the factory. The soft top, seat covers, alternator, and battery have seen less than 1000 miles. High-end radio fitted. Shop manuals, car cover, many spares, and original radio included. Car is located at Sausalito, CA. jim@gregorys.org Photos: https://www.lauralei.com/TR8/

> "1959 Triumph TR3A for restoration. Classic British sports car. The chassis has been sandblasted and repainted with all bushings replaced. All body panels and tub have been stripped and repaired as necessary. New floors, sills and battery box. The radiator has been re-cored, and a safety roll bar fitted. Since the car has been sitting for many years, all panels are now covered with surface rust and will need stripping again. These cars are easy to work on for anyone with a modicum of mechanical ability. The Car should be 90% complete with all major components. Anything missing can be bought from one of the many British car parts suppliers. $5000 cash. Needs trailering." Roger Garlick 209 217 6748

Club members and TR drivers, the time has come. I’m 75 and with a bad back. I had been driving TR3s since 1965. I have had many TRs and lots of fun. What is left are my two best TRs, a ’59 (white), and a ’60 (red). I last showed them in Sacramento in 2018 and Triumphest. You may have seen them at Dixon one year. I showed at Dixon for many years. Both cars are in TR3B configuration. Big engine and O.D. I have plenty of spares and misc. I would prefer to sell to one good home. I’m thinking $50K for the package. More pictures on request. These two cars are not perfect, but they are really good. Private parties only. Reasonable offers will be considered. dlbright@earthlink.net

Here's a shot of some of the TR4 and Stag parts I have for sale. Use this link to see the complete inventory on three pages of the spread sheet. Many thanks. The pressure is on to clean out my "junk!" Email me with questions or for more pictures. leejohn7@gmail.com. John Howard
