Triumph Spitfire

Coming soon: 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500 with Overdrive

Joining the Bridge Classic Cars family early next week we have our beautiful 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500 with overdrive, finished in Damson red.

If you are looking for a lovely tax and mot exempt spitfire then look no further, with an absolute fortune spent on maintaining her!!

The spitfire has been very well restored, looks stunning and sounds amazing. Perfect for a first classic if you are starting to feel the hunger for owning a classic as the work has already been done and it’s ready to enjoy.

The interior is a nice place to be and has a dark walnut dash and Motolita steering wheel and has the added bonus of cloth Mazda MX5 seats for comfort and long journeys. Everything works, including the overdrive in 3rd and 4th. The soft top is excellent too with a zip out rear window.

Our Spitfire is sat on new Minilite wheels with polished lips and excellent tyres which, I am sure you’ll agree, set the car off just right to give it an even sportier look.

Here is a list of new parts detailed to us by the previous owner:

Full new bell twin  stainless exhaust

Stainless manifold

Full new suspension front and rear (fully adjustable)

Weber 45 carburettor

Darren Has done a wonderful job on this Triumph Spitfire’s paintwork. The customer had selected this gorgeous deep black for their vehicle.

This vehicle is being restored at home by our customer, they wanted a perfect finish that only our state-of-the-art painting booth and highly skilled bodywork specialists could achieve.

Top work, Darren!

1977 Triumph Spitfire Arrives for Paintwork

We’re delighted to have this wonderful 1977 Triumph Spitfire 1500 into the Bridge Classic Cars Paint shop.

The owner has brought in his spitfire 1500 for our Paintwork specialists to work on. The Spirfire will be painted black. Interestingly, black was never a colour option Triumph offered from the factory so this really will be a unique classic.

Here at Bridge Classic Cars we have a bit of a soft spot for Spitfires. they’re such wonderful classics. We can’t wait for work to begin and to see this Spitfire transform into a beautiful machine.

The 1500 from this vehicles name denotes the cc of the engine given to it. The 1500 was the final iteration of the Spitfire and is favoured amongst enthusiasts as it was the most powerful engine on offer.
