Our Little British Triumph Spitfire!

Well the Empty Nester's are pulling out toys we haven't seen or used in years. This of course is one of our favorites! We bought this together while dating.....kind of knew the relationship was going to be a lasting one. We bought this in 1979-80 we really can't remember when, but Joe was just finishing Law School and I was in Nursing School....thought no one would give us a loan but my Credit Union did. We scraped the $58.00 payments each month together and talked the woman who needed to get rid of it down to $1200.00! It was only 7 years old! It only has about 45000 actual miles on it. We had a new paint job prior to storing it. Following our recent bath and wax job, we think it looks pretty darn good. Valued at $5,000.00 now due to it's classic status.....glad we kept it!

It is soooooo cute! It'd drive it in a heartbeat (after my kids and McD's days are over of course!)
