1974 Triumph Spitfire Mk IV - 37 Years of Ownership - 56, 980 Miles - After nearly 37 years of ownership, I would much prefer it to go to an enthusiast. Genuine enquiries and viewings are welcome. The car presents well, drives as it should, and benefits from an extensive history file together with a recorded mileage of 56, 980 miles. To ensure the car is ready for its next owner, the following work has recently been completed: MOT passed on 12 June 2026 Oil service Brake overhaul Two new rear brake cylinders New master cylinder New brake fluid New radiator fitted in May 2026 The car was Ziebart rust-proofed from new and retains its original engine and gearbox. The underside remains remarkably solid for a vehicle of this age, as shown in the photographs. Key Features: Owned by the same enthusiast since 1989 Only three previous owners 56, 980 miles Original engine and gearbox Extensive history file MOT passed June 2026 Recent service and brake overhaul New radiator fitted May 2026 Ziebart rust-proofed from new Road tax exempt MOT exempt (although currently MOT tested for buyer confidence) This is an honest, well-maintained and usable Spitfire with excellent provenance and nearly four decades of continuous ownership. Viewing is welcomed and encouraged. Long-term ownership of this nature is becoming increasingly rare. I purchased the car in 1989 and have enjoyed it for almost 37 years. Prior to my ownership, the car had only three previous keepers. The car comes with an extensive history file containing invoices, receipts and MOT certificates dating back many years. The recorded mileage of 56, 980 miles is supported by MOT certificates dating back to 1988. Approximately eleven years ago, I invested around £4, 000 in a sympathetic restoration and refurbishment, including: New front wings Rear wheel arch repairs Sill repairs New rear leaf spring New clutch Seats retrimmed Receipts for this work are included within the history file. The car has always been maintained as a genuine classic to be enjoyed rather than stored away, and I believe this is reflected in the way it drives today. Finding another Spitfire with this level of documented history, originality, and long-term ownership is becoming increasingly difficult. This is a reluctant sale, and I would like the car to go to an enthusiast who will continue to enjoy
