I had a black 1965, true spoked like this, double carburateur, double 6 volt batteries, positive ground, perfect black roof. Mine had the silver stripes on both sides...MGB written. The greatest smell of oil and brake fluid ever. Had it two great summers. Wish I could have this one for two more. Beautiful car you made there monsieur!

I have a ‘77 911S Targa, platinum metallic , 1-owner before me also. It sat in a garage for 20 years without being driven or even started. 60,000 miles. It needs a lot. But even after 20 years, the crank could be easily turned by hand.

As a young 24 yr old, I bought a 1965 MGB rag top. It was a thrill to drive. First time I had done 100 mph in any car. What great memories !!!

This car needed some serious tuning….engine sounds awful at times , and shifting was quite notchy Carbs ? Hope the buyer was ready for that …

Looks like the original engine, but you’re right, it definitely sounds odd. My 67 doesn’t sound like that, but then again, it has aftermarket exhaust. I can’t imagine many GT6es exist that are driveable that still have their original exhaust.

The dude painted the rear outside body panel white! FYI, there is a solid reason WHY Triumph painted ALL of them black. Given the body style, that back panel sucks up more road dirt than most. In fact it's the dirtiest part of the car's exterior, so I'm surprised he had it painted WHITE of all colors. Also, for enthusiasts, it's a dead giveaway that the car's been painted not to factory specification. At nineteen years old, I swapped engines and installed a new clutch in a weekend on my TR. FUN FACT : The doors on a Triumph TR6, are the EXACT same doors that are on a TR4, 250 and TR5.

Beautiful Mk1... just three things I'd point out. There front and rear screens do not have the plastic chrome finishers in the lock grooves. Those chrome headlight things aren't good on a Spitfire. That's the previous owner's taste, I appreciate but I think he watched too much Munsters 😂 and finally, and this one causes so much debate in Spitfire groups: I've always hated the luggage racks on the boots (or trunk, as you call it). I know it's a personal taste thing as most people who add them don't seem to actually use them. My reason for hating them is that the early round tail Spitfires particularly have the most beautiful, elegant curves and lines and the racks just spoil these.Plus, often when selling the car on, the new owner who, like me, would want to remove it immediately, is stuck with either 2 or 4 holes in the lid. But all this aside, this is a beautiful example of a Spitfire 4 (Mk1) and I rather suspect it went to a good home! 👌😉❤

The sounds so good. Do you remember what all was done with the engine and exhaust? Love the sound of it.

You need to spend twice the purchase amount on this car to make it fast and reliable. Back in 1966 you needed to spend 2,000 pounds on a 650-pound car. You needed to fit: -straight-cut, close ration gearbox (stripped 1st at the traffic lights) -heavy duty clutch -Up-rated front shock absorbers with larger mounting bolts -Rear lever shockers need to be changed to telescopic -Siamese fuel pump with fuel line inside (needed larger fuel tank) -Wheel studs snap -Overheating issues -Head gasket issues (leading to 1293 cc conversion) -Alternator -Competition brake pads/linings (rear drums are a joke) -Hard top -Laminated screen And this is before you tune the engine to 1293 cc with a weber carb No wonder the British auto industry disappeared, and good riddance.

Great video. My favourite car!!! To this day I've never driven a better car, drove from London to Newcastle in one and have never enjoyed driving so much since. Planted at high speed, mind you mine had dolomite sprint wheels which are wider and had twin weber carbs. Power to weight ratio; hard to beat. So light you could push start her solo no problem..
