Evolving through five guises over the course of an eighteen-year production run, the final Spitfire variant arrived in 1974. With a reputed 71bhp and 82lbft of torque on tap from its 1493cc OHV four-cylinder engine, the newcomer boasted genuine 100mph performance. Visually indistinguishable from its MKIV forebear save for some minor trim differences, the Spitfire 1500 was a decent seller on both sides of the Atlantic and the model remained in production until August 1980.
Finished in orange with black interior, this overdrive equipped example has been extensively featured on both Antiques Road Trip and Celebrity Antiques Road Trip TV programmes. Registering some 100,000 miles, it is described as having "good" bodywork and paintwork with "excellent" engine and "very good" interior. Benefiting from an engine and carburettor overhaul carried out over the winter of 2015 it is accompanied by a Swansea V5C and current MoT to March 2017.
