1965 Spitfire the most original and early available For Sale
Untouched and unrestored. Original Signal red paint, completely original down to the smallest detail. Wonderful original interior, original first carpet, seats, dashtop and the rubber footwells in perfect condition which you might have never seen before. The original white soft top in good condition is still with the car.
Very low mileage of 17. 800 mls. First owner until 2011. Full matching numbers of engine, body, keys and date stampings on glass, wiper motor, coil, etc. confirmed by BMIHT certificate.
Excellent original chromework. Full original tool kit including hammer for the wire wheel knock offs. Matching service booklet in the original delivery envelope.
The car was delivered to Mr. and Ms. Ned and Olivette Wade of Herrington Kansas in July 1967 through Warta Buick, Salina, Kansas. I found an advertisement of this car by Warta Buick of March 1967 in the Salina Journal where it was advertised with a discount of $300. The car was already imported to the US through Standard Triumph Midwest, Chicago in August 1965, so it must have been difficult to sell this little sportscar in rural USA in those days.
To keep the car in good driving condition the following work was done:
new Michelin XAS tires
new brake calipers and rear brake cylinders
new brake master cylinder
new brake hoses
new shock absorbers
new suspension bushings all round
new Original Lucas style battery
new exhaust system with new NOS rear exhaust box
The Spitfire is driving now very good and the gearbox is shifting like new. The car has an additional matching hard top in excellent condition which was not part of the original delivery spec.
The car is imported and road registered in Germany now and ready to drive anywhere.
I converted the lights and flashers to European spec. Any original part removed for that matter from the car is kept and can be reconverted.
I kept the exterior untouched and only have started to clean and polish it. This means the car has some small dings and scratches, but this is part of the unrepeatable original condition. You will not find such an early Spitifire in this condition. It can be driven and/ or part of any excellent collection.
I can assist with international shipping.
I can send you a link where I have uploaded many additional detail pictures.
I have driven, collected and restored Spitfires for almost 40 years, this is the best and most wonderful I ever came across. This Spitfire is unrepeatable and a true time warp.
Realistically priced at 20. 500 GBP or 23. 000€
