Barn Find: 1979 Triumph Spitfire 1500

This next car is an interesting value proposition. You’re basically buying a pile of Triumph parts that happens to still resemble a car. If the chassis is decent and the hardtop is usable, the economics start making sense, but you need to know what you are getting into because old British cars can be a special kind of torture to restore. Find this 1979 Triumph Spitfire offered for $850 in Greenwood Village, CO via craigslist.
