For Sale: 1971 Simplex Spitfire Deluxe

[TinyPetro]

Price negotiable
$4,900

located in Mesa AZ

This is a REAL exremely rare Simplex Spitfire Deluxe, not a Sport or a Coleman clone. Original tank shroud/decal, seat pan, frame, and forks. Real year unknown but in between 1968-1972.

*Engine:* Tecumseh H50 5hp / 173cc. Runs and drives strong but idle is a little choppy which is understandable. Includes the original air filter housing, front pan, and Deluxe-specific pull-start muffler. I made a replacement exhaust pipe which is an accurate replica for this model to fit the original muffler.

*Condition/Parts:*
- Original patina paint and tank decal. Never repainted. Engine block was redone and repainted at some point. Original clutch and belt still in working condition.
- Replacement 4.00-4 tires. Hold air and ride fine, but not original.
- All Deluxe-specific parts present except: headlight, taillight, chain guard, speedometer, and throttle cable.

Nonsense, they’re just too huge to place inline so they open in another tab. But the huge-ness pays dividends. Good, crisp, clear photos too. Back in the day, the folks on a 56k dial up modem would have to wait days for them to d/l.

That will be a nice bike when someone restores it.

Well when I've seen other threads of people restoring these bikes, they're persecuted for ruining the original patina of the bike

I dont know what price I should sit at exactly because all the posts I see waver a bit so ill lower the price to $3000

But im still willing to negotiate cause even 3000 might be too much
