A beautifully restored Triumph Spitfire 1500 finished in a stunning metallic blue and offered with an extensive history file, overdrive gearbox, hardtop and a large collection of spare parts., This car underwent a comprehensive body-off restoration a number of years ago and remains in exceptional condition today. Originally blue from the factory, it was professionally repainted during the restoration in a metallic Mazda colour which suits the Spitfire perfectly. The finish remains in excellent order and the quality of the restoration is evident throughout. Most importantly, the car is completely rust free., The accompanying history file contains extensive documentation relating to the car and the work carried out, demonstrating the level of care and investment it has received over the years., At the time of restoration, the interior was fully retrimmed in suede Alcantara and fitted with Mazda MX-5 seats. While not original, the result is a comfortable and beautifully finished cabin that complements the overall quality of the build., Mechanically, the car is equally impressive. The engine is understood to have been rebuilt during the restoration and today starts readily, runs smoothly and drives exactly as it should. On the road it feels tight, responsive and well sorted., A particularly desirable feature is the overdrive gearbox, something increasingly sought after on Spitfires. It transforms longer journeys, allowing more relaxed cruising and making the car far more usable on modern roads., The Minilite-style alloy wheels have all been professionally refurbished and fitted with matching tyres, completing the car's appearance perfectly., Included in the sale is the colour-matched hardtop shown in the photographs, along with a soft top in excellent condition. The car also comes with two boxes of spare parts, including side windows and various additional components accumulated over the years., Whilst not a concours-original example, this is an exceptionally well restored and tastefully improved Spitfire that retains all the charm of the original car., The car sales we all want - No hassle - No forced extras - No auction cars - just quality vehicles., £9,995
