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.

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...

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?
The 1963 Chevrolet Corvette marked the debut of the revolutionary second-generation Corvette, known today as the C2 Sting Ray. Featuring dramatic styling, hidden headlamps, and an independent rear suspension, the 1963 model represented a giant leap forward for America’s sports car. This particular 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible shows just 426 miles and is finished in timeless Ermine White over a striking Red vinyl interior. Under the hood sits the highly desirable fuel-injected 327ci L76 V8, a powerplant that helped establish the Corvette as a world-class performance machine. Combining iconic styling, advanced engineering for its era, and one of the most sought-after engine options available, this Corvette is a true collector-grade American classic.
Cadillac entered the 1980s as America’s premier luxury marque, and the DeVille remained one of its most recognizable flagships. Designed to deliver effortless cruising comfort, elegant styling, and a commanding road presence, the DeVille embodied the traditional American luxury car formula that Cadillac had perfected over decades. This 1980 Cadillac DeVille shows 90,728 miles and is finished in sophisticated Western Saddle Firemist Metallic with a matching Saddle Velour interior. Equipped with the desirable d’Elegance Package, a black vinyl roof, and modern upgrades including 22-inch aftermarket wheels and a Kenwood audio head unit, this DeVille successfully blends classic Cadillac luxury with a customized appearance that is sure to stand out wherever it goes.
The 1972 Porsche 911 T Coupe represents one of the most unique and collectible variants of the long-hood 911 lineage. As part of Porsche’s F-Series generation, the 911 T combined lightweight driving dynamics with the company’s proven air-cooled flat-six formula. The 1972 model year is especially significant because it was the only year Porsche fitted the now-famous external oil filler door, known by enthusiasts as the “Ölklappe.” Designed to improve weight distribution by relocating the oil tank ahead of the rear axle, this feature has become one of the most recognizable identifiers of a genuine 1972 911. This example is finished in attractive Albert Blue over a tan interior and shows approximately 76,346 miles.
