    If you are looking for a hobby, you love cars, and you love to work on them, you can't do better than a Spitfire.These cars are great to drive, easy to work on, cheap to buy and maintain and get more attention than most anything else you'd be driving.

    1500 ukA lot of people seem to put a downer on the Triumph Spitfire. And to be honest I can't see why... First off corrosion is nowhere near as bad as is made out... if you keep on top of it by renewing the under seal when you get the oil changed and grease lubrication points then all is hunky dory ...

    Nice little mk2 hard to find these, the least of the spits made. Parts ready available from a large number of sources. Will be putting up her own website soon. Done a lot of work on her so far, mainly taking paint back and repainting. Engine turns, looks like everything is there, so now head down an ...

    I bought my car on eBay during early February 08, I had just woken up after a Saturday afternoon snooze after dreaming about the Spit that I owned in my early twenty's, just on a whim I had a look on eBay and saw this lovely mint Spitfire with just minutes to go, a few minutes later I had bought it, ...

    In my experience, the triumph spitfire is one of the more overlooked classics on the market today. Now this car, along with the herald, vitesse and gt6 is perhaps the easiest ever made to work on with the whole bonnet and front wings lifting off to give unbelievable access to the engine and radiato ...

    It may be that I am getting older or that in my job I get to see many classical cars at weddings, but it was time to take a look at a vintage car that had great body lines and was easy to get pars for. The Triumph Spitfire had appealed to me in the late 1980 and 90's when I first got my classic Vaux ...

    Lets face it, in 1971 you just could not be seen in a Triumph Spitfire. Absolutely not. They were regarded as slow, unsporting, poor-handling and badly built even by the standard of the time. Spitfires were for girls. A Midget was OK, the MGB all right if you were a farmer, the real 1275 Cooper "S" ...

    The Triumph Spitfire ia a cute little sports cars are a perfect start for anyone ever having wanted to restore a car. Their simplicity lends itself to making modifications/improvements. However, they are too small to safely mix in todays traffic, may break down at inconvenient times, and should only ...

    This little car is great. You don't see too many out on the roads nowadays. It is a little rocket. Very good on gas. Fun cars for drive. Great cars over all. I'm proud to own one and would tell anybody wanting a old fun little car to look into this one.

    The Triumph Spitfire is one of the best handling cars around, not fast-but once you get used to that and the fine cornering, you learn to keep your speed up. The fact that you sit so low makes it seem fast anyway. More fun on backroads than on the highway. Overdrive is a must! One of the best lo ...
