Hi,
I bought a cheap, dented, and very dirty '76 Spitfire 1500 about a month ago, and I'm slowly getting it into commuting condition. The car had been sitting under some pine trees for five years because it needed a clutch master cylinder. The pine needles got everywhere, and piled up on the horizontal surfaces. This is the only car I've seen where the top of the trunk lid rusted through. Oh well... I bought it as a fuel sipping jalopy, and that's the spirit I'm going to enjoy it in. This car will never win any concours, so I may as well have fun with it.
This the fourth British car I've owned. Twenty years ago I bought a '75 Midget 1500, then put a Spitfire J-Type overdrive into it and a Weber carb. It was a fun but unreliable daily driver. Old ladies and young smiled when I putted by in it. Next I got a late '64 Spitfire Mk. 1 that was late enough in production that it had several Mk. 2 parts, like the revised wiring harness and lights. I kept it quite stock, but sold it when I got transferred to a new job in California. (I couldn't justify to the company I worked for why they had to pay to move three sports cars along with my other belongings.) A year ago my wife bought an '89 Range Rover. That is a solid machine, and very refined. I can see why folks willingly forked over $60,000 for them. Very nice.
I've already posted a few times here and there in the Triumph forum. I'm sure you'll see me around here.
