Triumph Spitfire rust free CA everyday driver - improvements made for 5 years!!

Description

This is an everyday driver in very good condition with most to all wear in tear parts replaced and improved over a 5.5 year period. I am the second owner and more than 20K worth of improvements was put into this car over my ownership time, and it is an original car. It starts up each time just right, and it runs the way it should. It gets lots of compliments each time I take it out.
Why I am selling it? I don't use it anymore, I have never kept a car, and certainly never a toy for this long, and it is finally time for me to let go. This car is a great example of its kind, and it will go to those that want this.
The paint job is new and fantastic (about 3.6k worth) on the body, and there is not one dent. There are some minor blemishes in the rear plastic bumper (peeling paint), but all classic cars of this kind will pretty much have this.
Below is the list of notable improvements that I have done.
The picture showing the radiator is the old original radiator and fan. I replaced it with a much improved Champion radiator that was built specifically for this model and year car, as well as a more powerful Jaguar fan that fits perfectly.
Good luck.
