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.
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.
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.
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.
The 1969 Triumph TR6 Roadster is one of Britain’s most iconic sports cars, blending classic styling with a raw, engaging driving experience. Introduced as the successor to the TR5/TR250, the TR6 featured updated styling by Karmann while retaining the robust mechanical foundation that made Triumph roadsters so coveted among enthusiasts. This example, showing just 26,501 miles, presents beautifully in Signal Red and captures the essence of vintage open-top motoring. With its inline-six engine, manual transmission, and lightweight construction, the TR6 offers a pure, analog driving experience that has become increasingly desirable among collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The 1974 Triumph TR6 represents one of the final evolutions of Britain’s classic roadster formula—simple, mechanical, and built purely for driving enjoyment. With just 43,019 miles, this example stands as a well-preserved piece of analog motoring history, finished in the highly desirable Mimosa Yellow over a black interior. Known for its torquey inline-six and unmistakable styling, the TR6 became a favorite among enthusiasts for its balance of performance and character. This particular car retains its classic charm while benefiting from tasteful upkeep, making it an excellent choice for collectors or anyone looking to experience vintage open-top driving at its finest.
Ah, Triumph. One of those sadly defunct British sports car makers responsible for giving us some truly awesome pint-sized roadsters to drive enthusiastically. The British really got the whole less is more thing down to an art form during much of the 20th century. They perfected the recipe of small dimensions, modestly-sized but revvy engines and chuckable driving dynamics to a great extent. The Triumph GT6 was something a little more than your typical British sports car. For starters it was a proper, fixed-head coupe and it came with a straight six under the hood. That’s what we have for sale today, a 1973 Triumph GT6 from Clearwater, Florida. It’s got just over 33,000 miles, a 2.0-liter straight six, a manual gearbox and all the charm you’d expect from a classic British car. Why not make it your own, then?
