Vehicle Description
This 1980 Triumph Spitfire represents the last (and arguably the
best) from a celebrated history. After all, it has the classic
lightweight sports car feeling, and this one has the largest of the
motor and many great upgrades. And like a proper Spitfire, it
delivers vintage open road experience for quite an obtainable
price.
This is a well-coordinated package. The metallic silver paint is an
upgrade later in life, and it nicely complements the black bumpers.
Plus, the painted steel wheels and black convertible top complete a
package that has the total appeal of a two-tone presentation. Even
with the top down, the well-coordinated package continues. The
addition of the roll bar not only adds safety and rigidity, but
also its polished appearance looks good against exterior accent
pieces like the headlight bezels, wheel trim, hood latches, and
racing-style gas cap.
This Spitfire delivers features you don't get on every classic
British machine, like a proper convertible top and roll-up windows.
And the heater and AM/FM/cassette stereo are nice for added
comfort. But what really makes this great is the way it connects
with the driver. The position of the grippy three-spoke steering
wheel and stick shift make this car feel like it was built around
you. And not only do you get a large Smiths speedo and tach, but
also the rest of the dash is dominated by auxiliary readouts to
give you the full info at all times.
This one really takes advantage of the full forward-tilting front
end. You'll love showing off the engine bay just for all the
stickers that give this car extra character. And this sporty style
is more than just appearances. They started with the 1.5-liter
motor, the largest for the Spitfires. It has been upgraded with
nice features, like a Cannon intake, exhaust header, an improved
air box, and an electric fan. The motor fires up nicely and runs
smoothly. When you get it out on the road, you'll love the balance
of the smooth four-speed manual transmission, strong chassis on the
lightweight body, and fully independent suspension. Plus, front
disc brakes and modern tires complete a terrific handling
package.
The sale comes complete with extra interior and exterior
components. And so now you see that this final-year Spitfire
delivers a great classic car experience for an obtainable price.
