⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

The Spitfire is a sporting open-top British roadster in its purest form.

When released in 1962, Triumph were firmly established for making the best range of affordable sports cars in the world. Thanks to its cost-effective separate chassis design, the rakish and pretty Michelotti-styled open-top roadster would fulfil a role in providing a charismatic driving experience for a modest outlay. Backed up by an impressive specialist backup and excellent owners clubs, the Spitfire is remarkably refined and comfortable for such a small car. Its appealing driving position and driving agility win the car many points, and it's the engine access and ease of maintenance that offer a useful plus point for the practically minded. In its final 1980 guise, the Spitfire was one of the last compact open-top British roadsters, and its desirability remain as strong as ever. These later cars used a more forgiving rear suspension layout, offered plusher furnishings, improved brakes and were fitted with an energetic 1.5-litre engine mated to a stronger gearbox.

This 1980 Triumph Spitfire 1500 is one of the later cars to have been built, being amongst the last batch to have left the production line. Finished in "Carmine Red", with a tan interior, it has been with the current owner since 2014 and has had almost £2,000 worth of invoices in that time. It has been well maintained and presents well, with minor signs of age. It is road tax and MOT exempt, but has an MOT to June 2026 for good measure. After a successful sale there will be an option for the owner to bring the Spitfire to the mainland, either Gunwharf Quays, Southampton or Lymington.
