Do you crave a vehicle that’s the opposite of what you drive on a daily basis? Do you desire something that’s small, simple, and devoid of computers? Does the idea of a classic British roadster appeal to you? If so, consider this 1974 Triumph Spitfire that’s done a mere 48,100 miles in its lifetime. The Spitfire was introduced in 1962 and went through five generations until 1980. This car is a Spitfire 1500, which was the last generation. Furthermore, this numbers-matching car has undergone a full restoration, making it near-factory fresh and waiting to be enjoyed.
Wearing a beautiful coat of green metallic paint, this 1974 Triumph Spitfire is truly something to behold. The car stands just 48 inches tall and comes in at a very garage-friendly 145 inches long. It’s also a mere 57 inches wide. Yes, this car will make a modern subcompact hatchback look gargantuan. We’re told that the car sports a new frame, a new black convertible top, new wheels, and new tires. There’s also a cargo rack atop the trunk lid, as British roadsters don’t offer the most capacious cargo compartments. The interior of this 1974 Triumph Spitfire is a pleasing affair, upholstered in tan, with two leather seats, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a wood-trimmed dashboard. The driver receives comprehensive instrumentation, including a prominent speedometer and tachometer directly ahead of the steering wheel. There’s also a heater to keep you warm on chilly days. While this car is mostly period-correct, it’s got a small surprise in the shape of the sound system. You’ll discover an Alpine head unit with CD playback and Bluetooth capabilities, hooked up to new Phoenix Gold amplifiers and new Polk Audio speakers. Hence, you can relax with some choice music after a blast down some of your favorite back roads on a quiet weekend morning or evening.
Pop the hood of this 1974 Triumph Spitfire, and you won’t find a V8 or even an inline-six. Nope, this car uses a diminutive 1.5-liter 4-cylinder powerplant to propel it along. But don't let its small capacity fool you; with its lightweight body and agile handling, this roadster can offer the kind of driving experience other cars dream of. We’re told that the engine has been rebuilt and packs less than 2,000 miles since then. Drive is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox. Meanwhile, an aftermarket exhaust system uplifts the driving experience, amplifying that characteristic rorty sound that British roadsters are renowned for. A new battery and new wiring have also been installed in this beautiful British roadster.

It's a common perception that to have fun behind the wheel, one must have a machine that's fast and precise. While that may be true, sometimes life is about slowing it down, savoring each turn, and taking in the views; the best car for the job? A classic British roadster. Built during the 60s, the Triumph Spitfire was as iconic as its name; it boasted a timeless design that can turn heads to this day and ensure decent performance on a twisty back road. Present today, in all its glory, is this lovely 1967 Triumph Spitfire Roadster; it's an unmistakably British classic roaster hailing from the Mark III generation, every angle and is geared towards a refined drive experience that makes you want to be behind the wheel all the time.
Are you hunting for a classic British sports car that will rejuvenate your soul, engage your senses, and tantalize your mind? If so, why not choose a Triumph Spitfire? Produced from 1962 to 1980 across five generations, the Spitfire, named after the famed Supermarine Spitfire World War II fighter plane, is indeed a treat to drive. This particular 1975 Triumph Spitfire is especially appealing, as it's reportedly been fully restored in 2021. The current owner says that the car has also received an engine rebuild with under 2,000 miles since then. You'd best be quick if you want to snag this British beauty that's also in left-hand drive, so you don't need to worry about the steering wheel being on the wrong side for America.
Triumph is one of those great British brands that was under British Leyland. Well-known for their TR series of sports cars, the TR7 was one of the last before the brand was shelved in 1984. Sporting a characteristic wedge shape, the TR7 was introduced to the public in 1974, and would sell until 1981. This particular car is a 1976 Triumph TR7 with 81,000 miles, and is reported to have all its maintenance up to date. Therefore, it’s an excellent classic car to buy and drive if you’re a fan of British sports cars, and enjoy a thrilling drive down your favorite winding road on the weekends.
A first-generation Chevy Corvette is a fantastic car to own and drive. It’s a piece of American automotive history, after all. Produced between 1953 and 1962, over 69,000 were made. It was also the only Corvette era to come with a six-cylinder engine choice, something that Chevy quickly realized didn’t suit a flagship sports car. Thankfully, all Corvettes thereafter have packed a V8. Many people nowadays want an original first-gen Corvette, but there are some who love restomods. If that sounds familiar, have we got the car for you! Say Howdy to this Pennsylvania-based 1960 Chevrolet Corvette LS3 Restomod that’s got just 1,000 miles after its comprehensive makeover. There’s a lot to learn about this car, so let us give you the highlights, but don’t forget to shoot us a DM or give us an old-fashioned phone call if you’re interested.
If there’s one category of vehicle we’d love to see return in 2025, it would be the “Personal Luxury Car.” These individualized creations focused on being the ultimate in luxury coupes, with comfort being one of the key factors for individuals who like to drive alone. The market was dominated by cars like the Ford Thunderbird, but the upmarket division of the Ford group had their own take on it too, and that came in the form of the Lincoln Mark IV. Our featured 1983 Lincoln Mark IV looks sinister in its deep black paint job with a matching black leather interior and a smoother 5.0-liter V8 engine. The car has 58,000 reported miles on the odometer and looks to be a well-preserved example that will likely appreciate in value in years to come.
Ford has the Mustang, and Chevrolet had the Camaro. Back in the ’60s, it was a winning duo for consumers, with the two frontrunners in the pony car race battling on both backroads and race tracks. Our featured 1968 Chevrolet Camaro is a fine specimen just waiting to go to a new home. It features a striking blue exterior, a well-kept black interior, and a 383ci stroker V8 under the hood. This immaculate classic has reportedly been subject to a recent motor and transmission install, which means it should offer a trouble-free ownership experience to whoever is lucky enough to take possession next.
