Go for the price! I believe it is rediculous to by parts and restore these
fine little sports cars then sell then for pennies on the dollar. MOSS VB
all the parts houses charge the same prices for Spit parts as the charge for
TR parts or MG parts. Spits have a rich history, won a lot of SCCA
championships, were designed by an Italian sports car designer so why
shouldn't the car sell for what you have in it as well as the time spent
restoring it. When I sell my Spit I won't budge on the price or I'll just
keep it and pass it on to one of my children.

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.
