Description

British, ristine, imble, nd meticulously restored this 1977 Triumph Spitfire is everything you want at an affordable price.You're looking at the best of Europe. Italian styling wrapped in a nimble British package and named after a famous WWII fighter plane. If this one seems particularly appealing to you, hat's because it's fresh from a two-year, rame-off restoration project. This included stripping and priming the whole car (just look at the undercarriage photos) to ensure that there would be no future issues with the super straight body. The bright yellow paint is the perfect shade for this classic roadster. A sprightly and aggressive bumblebee of a car like this one deserves a bold color that announces this car is here for fun. These final 1500 series Spitfires had arguably some of the best styling cues of the bunch with the flat rear end that was a cue taken from larger Triumphs like the Stag, nd the steel wheels can be fitted with trim rings like they were Chevy's rally units.The Spitfire was always about representing the plucky nature of a British sports car. That meant an interior built for function, ut in true English fashion, raftsmanship was still a priority. This nature is at its best in this roadster because nearly everything was rebuilt or replaced during its full restoration. That's why the tan vinyl on the seats looks the same as when this car got off the boat in 1977. The real wood dashboard is smooth and beautiful with plenty of room to hold the heater/defrost controls and the full gauge package. From the moment you slip behind the wheel you know why Spitfires were legendary. The three-spoke sports steering wheel is the perfect diameter, nd your right hand just naturally rests on the gearstick. This will fit you like a glove, nd make you want to play hooky on every sunny day. If the weather does turn gray and wet, hen just remove the convertible boot cover and raise the tan vinyl top with one hand.The final series of Spitfires received the largest motor of the bunch. A 1.5-liter four-cylinder might not seem like much, ut there's much more to this story. The powerplant was completely rebuilt less than 200 miles ago with upgrades that include twin HS4 SU carburetors, ored .030 over kit, ent camshaft, olid state ignition, nd stainless header and exhaust. So this is little Spitfire knows how to get aggressive without losing its sprightly charm. And that's exactly how these became so popular. The car barely tipped the scales but had a level of rigidity not seen on other roadsters of its day. These were built on a solid backbone chassis with lightweight metal partial unibody. This gave them a solid but nimble feeling on the backroads, nd it only got better when paired with the four-speed manual transmission w/electronic overdrive and front disc brakes.This Spitfire almost seems too good to be true, ut we have restoration photos and receipts that prove the amount of sweat equity (and money) someone invested. As such, his car is being sold at a significant loss to the restorer and the lucky buyer of this car is going to benefit without having to foot the bill of an expensive restoration. The current owner of the car has requested to keep the original restoration photos but we can make copies upon request to stay with the car. Indeed, his may be one of the nicest Triumph Spitfire's in the entire world. It's an amazing roadster that will bring you more open top joy than anything at even double the asking price.
