OVERVIEW
This 1977 Triumph Spitfire 1500 roadster was manufactured in Coventry, England in December 1976 and went through a cosmetic and mechanical overhaul approximately 20 years ago. It comes equipped with a newer soft top, a Bluetooth stereo, woodgrain trim, and Falken tires on Minilite-style wheels. Power is supplied by a rebuilt 1.5-liter inline-four mated to a rebuilt four-speed manual transmission. Finished in Pimento Red over a black vinyl interior, this Spitfire is now offered with service records and a clear title.
EXTERIOR – FEATURES
The exterior received body repairs and a fresh coat of Pimento Red (code 72) paint during restoration in 2003. Along with that work, new floor boards were installed and a replacement black cloth top with plastic windows was fitted. In early 2023, the exterior surfaces were wet-sanded and polished. Exterior features include chrome bumpers with black guards, dual mirrors, a trunk-mounted luggage rack, and a dual-outlet exhaust system.
EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES
Minilite-style aluminum 13-inch wheels are wrapped in 175/70 Falken tires installed in December 2021.
INTERIOR – FEATURES
The refurbished two-seat interior is fitted with black vinyl bucket seats, matched to the door panels, dash pad, armrests, and carpeting. Amenities include red three-point safety belts, a woodgrain dash face, and a Bluetooth stereo.
INTERIOR – GAUGES
Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, a 7K-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 83,887, which the seller asserts is a true reading.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
Under the clamshell hood is a 1.5-liter inline-four that was rebuilt in 2003 and given a valve job, a Pertronix ignition system, new fuel lines, a new fuel pump, a Weber carburetor, and an aluminum radiator. Documentation in the photo gallery on the right outlines additional work completed, as well as components sourced for the project at the time of refurbishment. Recent maintenance includes the replacement of the spark plugs, wires, and fluids in April 2023. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a rebuilt four-speed manual transmission.
UNDERCARRIAGE
The 2003 restoration included the replacement of the brake lines, tie rod ends, radius arms, leaf springs, and other chassis components.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
The sale includes service records.
