1971 Triumph Spitfire Mk IV For Sale

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.
