Evolving through five guises over the course of an eighteen-year production run, the final Spitfire variant, the 1500, 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.

An exciting project to be offered without reserve, this Spitfire is understood to have been off the road since at least 2005 and was saved from certain death when our vendor acquired it. Noting the solidity of the chassis and the car’s potential, he has got it running and driving and has painted the body to protect the metal work. Benefiting from new brake lines and stainless big bore exhaust, the engine was running when inspected and whilst the vinyl hood is in good order the interior will likely require retrimming. Offered with a hard top, two windscreens and side windows.
