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.
