Description
A retro icon full of charm…Few cars evoke the nostalgia of classic British motoring quite like the Triumph Spitfire. Built over 18 glorious years, this beloved roadster evolved through five models, from the Mark 1 to the 1500, securing its place as a timeless classic in automotive history.
Our 1967 Triumph Spitfire MK4 is a showstopper. Finished in elegant Arctic White, it features the iconic styling of Giovanni Michelotti, whose design remains a benchmark for classic sports cars. This MK4 convertible is pure nostalgia, blending simplicity, reliability, and charm—qualities that have kept the Spitfire a favorite among enthusiasts for decades.
Under the bonnet, we’ve enhanced the original with a tuned 1300cc engine, delivering lively performance through a classic four-speed manual gearbox. A spirited drive in this lightweight roadster reminds you why the Spitfire was once dubbed “the poor man’s Jaguar E-Type”, accessible yet undeniably stylish.
Inside, the cockpit feels as refined as it is retro. Swathed in cream and tan leather, with matching carpets, the cabin exudes warmth and character. An original wooden steering wheel and gear stick add the finishing touches to this time capsule of 1960s design.
A fascinating tidbit: the Triumph Spitfire gets its name from the legendary World War II fighter plane. British aircraft manufacturer Supermarine allowed Triumph to borrow the name, cementing its heritage as a vehicle born from the ingenuity of wartime engineering.
Whether cruising country lanes or stealing the show at events, the Spitfire is a piece of living history!
