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.

With a name derived from a fearsome World War II fighter plane, Triumph’s Spitfire is certainly a darty, spunky thing, just like its namesake, the Supermarine Spitfire. Produced between 1962 and 1980, the Triumph Spitfire is one of Britain’s most iconic roadsters of the time, and is a much-loved model in many countries. Today’s 1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500 comes from New Jersey and has traveled just 1,629 miles after what we suspect to be a restoration, given by how clean the car looks. If you’re a fan of British roadsters, know how to drive stick, and relish a good blast down a country road in an open-topped car, this is the perfect companion for you! Quick, DM or call us if you’d like to take it home and cherish it.

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.
With its roots in 1885, the Triumph Motor Company of Great Britain is one of the country’s most well-known sports car makers. They’re known for a fine line-up of TR models which are sports cars, typically open-topped ones called Roadsters. Sadly, Triumph went bust in 1984, but the assets are currently owned by BMW. While the Bavarian automaker shows no plans to resurrect the brand, much of their historic production still remains alive. This 1971 Triumph TR6 is one such example and it’s for sale in Greenville, South Carolina. With its 2.5-liter straight six, convertible top cover and original owner’s manual, this is a fine catch for someone who wishes to sample the British Roadster lifestyle. And let us tell you, it’s quite an addictive driving experience!
In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels. If you want a special classic Corvette that’s definitely going to be valuable for years to come, talk to us right now.

Made between 1968 and 1982, the third generation or C3 Corvette has got to be the longest-running era in Chevy’s Corvette. Over 500,000 units were sold during this time, making it one of the best ways to enter classic Corvette ownership. This fine specimen from 1974 Chevrolet Corvette is a worthy candidate if you’re interested. Hailing from Aurora, Colorado, it’s got just 3,000 miles on its rebuilt 350ci engine and automatic gearbox. Plus, there’s a whole list of new and replaced parts that have been installed, bringing this Corvette to a whole new level in terms of condition. You definitely won’t regret getting your hands on this car!
