I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION AT ANY TIME AND SELL THIS VEHICLE TO ANY PERSON I CHOOSE. CAR IS FOR SALE LOCALLY. I CAN ARRANGE TRASNPORT ANYWHERE IN THE USA AT BUYERS EXPENSE.
I BOUGHT THIS recently out of long term storage, a bit of a 'barn find' ---- Vehicle had not been started or ran in about 7 or 8 years.
I did regular preventative things. , oiled cylinder walls, cleaned gas tank, put in a new battery, new spark plugs, and got this running. NOTE : Some switches are crusty from the car sitting so long. The ignition switch is one of these switches. I have a jumper wire for reliable runnin, I have a new ignition switch on order. which will fix this problem and get rid of the jumper wire in the future.
1978 Triumph Spitfire 150, zero rust, straight, PROFESSIONALLY converted to twin-rotor Wankel engine from 1986 Mazda RX7 & rebuilt 5 speed transmission from same . SUPER fast/ clean installation! Tight car.
With no choke or electronics of any kind on this (No ECUs to go bad) this car starts cold-bloodedl, but can be coaxed to run once you know what you are doing. Will idle only after running for a minute or two. This is because side draft Weber does not have a choke circuit. Once warm, runs amazing.
I was told 13B twin rotor engine was rebuilt by local rotary engine expert about 8 or 9 years ago and less than 4000 miles.
Odometer shows 46350 original miles.
Car has ZERO rust, and suspension has been rebuilt with new bushings, exhaust is newe, tires look like new (but are actually older)
Car has two tops : Soft top pictured, and a shabby hard to, which will do the job of keeping weather out of the car.
Some dash switches do not work (yet, will take some tinkering.
Wood dash does not look nice, has delineated from sitting in a garage for years.
Everything else looks great!
SEATS are Mazda Miata, with new seat covers. They have seat heaters built into them, which work! Also have speakers built into the headrests, which also work! The seats look and feel great.
