Background Story of this 1978 Triumph Spitfire

Overview of 1978 Triumph Spitfire For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

This awesome 1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500 comes in a very fitting shade of green that may very well be the famed British Racing Green! Long, low and sleek, it’s actually a very compact car, coming in at a mere 145 inches long and 57 inches wide. The car’s height is just 48 inches with its black convertible top in the raised position! Yes, this is a car that can easily nip and tuck through traffic, or park in spaces once thought impossible! The two-seat interior of this 1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500 features beige leather, a Springalex wood grain steering wheel and some Smiths auxiliary gauges. The interior also comes with woodgrain trim and a Panasonic AM/FM push-button radio. You’ve also got a small trunk for a modest amount of cargo, as well as a spare tire, which is a rarity nowadays.

Engine

This 1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500 packs a lively 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine under its hood. While the power figures on paper are low, the car’s sub-2000 pound kerb weight means that it’s a lively performer. You’ve got a 4-speed manual gearbox sending power to the rear wheels, the classic sports car formula that ensures exciting drives. Plus, you can have the time of your life in this beautiful British classic without ever needing to break the speed limit! Can modern cars offer such thrills? We think not...
