For those in or around the San Francisco Bay Area; '74 Spitfire 1500, 2nd owner, bought it in '84 for $2,650, have over $17,000 invested. Last of the chrome bumpered Spitfires. If you like Spitfires, you'll do a lot of searching to find a better example.  A lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into this one; it's like an old friend and I'd like to sell it to someone who'll knows how to maintain, service, and take good care of it.  If your idea of maintenance is keeping gas in the tank and changing the oil once a year, please look elsewhere; I don't want to put it in the hands of someone who'll trash it.
I feel it's worth every penny of $8,000, but the market doesn't much favor that price for Spitfires these days, so I figure $6,000 is an equitable exchange. If you wind up offering less, I'll take your contact information and get back to you later if your offer turns out to be the best, but the first $6,000 will take it.  Includes 3 versions of shop/maintenance manuals, factory parts catalog, owner's manual, parts catalogs from Moss, Victoria British,  the Roadster Factory and a complete detailed record of maintenance and work I've done on it from day one. Located in Richmond, Calif.
