Buying Tips for the 1981 Triumph Spitfire

  • Check chassis outriggers and main rail rails on a ramp or pit: the separate chassis carries the entire structural load, and bodged welding or rust repairs are costly to rectify.
  • Verify that the front lower trunnions have been lubricated with heavy gear oil (EP90) rather than grease; dry or seized trunnions can shear the vertical link without warning.
  • Check crankshaft end float on 1500 models by levering the crank pulley or having an assistant depress the clutch while observing front pulley movement.
  • Ensure the forward-hinging clamshell bonnet is properly aligned; misaligned hinges cause severe panel chafing and scuttle damage.
