This is a very good and sorted car.  Chuck does first class work and this car will get you to the pointy end of the grid if you have the skill.  Could not duplicate this car for 2 to 3 times the price.  A great buy for someone......

Looks like a great price, good luck with the sale. Too bad you're not on
the East Coast, I know a guy near Boston looking for just this car. I raced
a formula car (F440) before I bought the 64 Spit and I prefer the Triumph
hands down. So much more room, less finicky in the setup, cheaper to repair
and run.

my 2 cents
