Introduced in 1974, the final Triumph Spitfire variant – the 1500 – was powered by a 1493cc OHV four-cylinder engine which was notably torquier than its predecessors (71bhp / 82lbft). Weighing a modest 815kg, the two-seater proved a responsive drive thanks to its all-round independent suspension, disc/ drum brakes and rack and pinion steering. Visually indistinguishable from its MkIV forebear save for some minor trim differences, the Spitfire 1500 was a handsome machine. A decent seller on both sides of the Atlantic, the model boasted 100mph performance and the model remained in production until August 1980.

First registered in Liverpool on December 12^th 1979 (or so its ‘UKF 758V’ number plate would imply), chassis FH134239 joined the William Hunt collection some nine years ago. Self-evidently the subject of much past restoration work, the Triumph’s Old English White paintwork is complemented by Black upholstery with Black and White houndstooth pattern inserts. Currently running and driving, the Spitfire would doubtless benefit from recommissioning prior to any proper usage. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, sundry paperwork and assorted minor spares.
