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.
Exterior and Interior
The iconic British Racing Green paint job on this 1975 Triumph Spitfire is reportedly a 2021 repaint, and it certainly looks pristine. You'll enjoy driving in this buzzy little sports car while all heads turn to follow. The car is reported to wear new tires as well, so you need not worry about aged and cracked rubber but can enjoy this little fellow to its full potential. Inside, we're told that the interior, carpeting, and seats are all new, and it certainly looks to be the case. The tan brown interior is a beautiful complement to the British Racing Green exterior, replete with a wood-trimmed dashboard, two leather seats, and plenty of comprehensive instrumentation. You've also got a sporty three-spoke steering wheel and a wood-crafted gear knob for the manual gear shifter. You'll also find a generous trunk behind the two-seat passenger cabin because such cars were designed to be Grand Tourers as well, over in Britain. You'd drive a great distance to a circuit of your choice, have a blast around the track, and drive back again – or stay overnight if desired.
Engine
The 1.5L in-line 4-cylinder engine of this 1975 Triumph Spitfire may seem puny by American standards because it is. Developing a mere 53 horses to the rear wheels, you'll be using the four-speed manual transmission a great deal to get the car moving. However, you'll also relish its delicious handling characteristics and enjoy every moment behind the wheel. As part of the 2021 restoration, the car is said to have received a new suspension system, new shocks, new brakes, new springs, a new radiator, a new starter, a new battery, and an engine oil change.
