Vintage Brit: 1972 Triumph Spitfire
Our next feature is a Spitfire Mk IV, which means it gets the cleaner squared-off tail, improved rear suspension geometry versus the earlier swing-axle widowmaker years, and styling that looks like a shrunken GT6 with fewer cylinders. It is quite a good-looking car and will get smiles everywhere you go. I just wish this next feature car had more photos to understand the condition. Find this 1972 Triumph Spitfire offered for $10,000 in Long Beach, CA via facespit marketfire.

Seller’s description
Mechanically well sorted and solid classic roadster, built and maintained specifically to be driven and enjoyed. Clean inside and out. The previous owners put extensive care into keeping it road ready, and I have continued that momentum with substantial upgrades to the suspension, cooling, and fueling systems.
Recent Upgrades & Maintenance:
- New Weber 45 DCOE carburetor on matched intake manifold. Starts clean, idles smoothly, pulls great
- New fuel tank sending unit and cleaned lines
- New electronic distributor
- New front coil springs, new rear transverse leaf spring and new shocks all around
- Fully rebuilt shifter linkage
- New radiator and new heater control valve
Lots of other fresh hardware, seals, and routine fluid changes done along the way. Turnkey driver ready for coastal cruises or weekend canyon runs.
Clean California title in hand. Current registration. Serious inquiries only
