1971 Triumph Spitfire Mk IV

Highlights

Valid Controle Technique until June 2025
Red livery with a black cabin
1,296cc four-cylinder engine with 4-speed transmission
Registered in Spain since 2017

The Appeal

The penultimate version of the Spitfire was a very refined one. A redesigned front end and suspension made for an overall sleeker set of lines and much-improved handling, keeping Triumph's patriotically-named baby strong against its contemporaries. The British sports car formula was continuing to thrive, and the Spitfire was suitably appointed to lead the charge.

This fine example comes to us with a good six months left on its current Controle Technique, and we've no reports of any significant mechanical issues. Its rich red livery makes for a very handsome car that we've no doubt will capture plenty of admiring glances out on the road.

Popular questions about make an offer

If an auction vehicle doesn't sell, it may be converted into a “Make an offer” listing. This will retain all of the details of the auction listing but replace the bidding functionality with an offering system whereby potential buyers can make an offer on the vehicle.
To take the hassle out of the whole process and to prevent any unnecessary squabbling we'll automatically decline anything less than 70% of the asking price so only offers that are worth considering will be accepted.
Make an offer listings include a “Make an offer” button. Simply click on this and enter the amount you’d like to offer and the seller will either accept, decline or counter. Easy peasy.
If you don’t have a Car & Classic account with a registered bank card you’ll be prompted to set one up at this point.

If your offer is accepted, you’ll be charged a service fee. The amount depends on the cost of the vehicle and is an additional cost on top of the offer amount. Starting from as little as £/€300, it covers the cost of our various auction and escrow services, but rest assured, we're not in the woollen eyewear business and so the exact amount is always displayed upfront before you place your bid. You will only be charged if your offer is accepted.
