"Triumph Spitfire" (1974) red
The 1974 Triumph Spitfire 1500 here shown in red, is a legendary
small British sports car of that era. Known for its charming design and
nimble handling, the Spitfire 1500 represents the final iteration of
the Spitfire range, which had been in production since 1962. With a
low-slung body and a classic sportscar convertible top the Spitfire was an
attractive option for those who wanted the thrill of open-air motoring
without breaking the bank.
Under the bonnet the 1500 featured a 1.5-litre inline-four engine,
producing 71bhp, which, while modest by modern standards
provided a lively driving experience thanks to the car's lightweight
construction. Paired with a four-speed manual transmission, the Spitfire
could reach a top speed of about 100mph, offering plenty of fun for
weekend road trips and spirited drives.
The design which was penned by Michelotti, is unmistakably British, with a long
bonnet, chrome bumpers, and flowing lines that give the Spitfire its
classic British roadster appeal. This model in particular benefited from
a few updates, including a revised suspension for improved ride quality.
For enthusiasts, the Spitfire 1500 remains a beloved symbol of classic
sportscar heritage, known as much for its character as its engaging drive.
