It is with great regret I do this but the time has come for the Sprintfire to find a new home.
If you don't know the car it is a 1978 Spitfire 1500, fitted with Dolly Sprint engine,
TR7 5-speed 'box,
GT6 grooved discs and Princess 4-pot calipers and remote Servo,
Full nylon bushed suspension,
Adjustable Gaz shocks on all corners,
GT6 fibreglass bonnet
Custom grill and front corner bumpers,
15" x 7" Dymag alloys with good 195/45 Continental tyres
Custom interior inc 6 disc CD and speakers/amp
Hard and soft tops
