In the Fall of 2024, my father and I acquired a 1976 Triumph Spitfire for $1,500 (CAD), with the intention of fixing it up and selling it. There was (and still is) a myriad of problems with it.
Some issues with it:
: Carburetor isn't delivering fuel to the engine
: Brakes are soft, beyond the point of safety. The brake fluid reservoir was bone dry (although there are no leaks!)
: She's missing a few cosmetic parts (luggage rack, roof trim, etc)
