Oh My Gawd!!!

This beauty was spotted on ebay (of course) in April of 2003. Selling in the UK.
Ebay item=2412975467
This is a 1969 TRIUMPH SPITFIRE MK3, Fitted with very unusual and rare DUTTON FIBREGLASS CONVERSION KIT, front and rear. A FIBRE GLASS HARD TOP is also included. Buyer must arrange for the transportation of the car either by trailer or low-loader. Buyer must also arrange for therapy after he takes possession of this car.

Think about it, if these cars are so great,
WHY are all of their owners trying to sell them?
