The Triumph Spitfire was built from 1962 to 1980.
The 1500, the most traded version: The Spitfire 1500 represented the final evolution of Triumph's beloved roadster, featuring the largest engine in the model's history. The 1.5-liter inline-four produced 71 hp and 82 lb-ft, providing the best performance of any production Spitfire with a 13.2-second 0-60 time. Built from 1974-1980, these later cars benefited from years of refinement while maintaining the classic Michelotti styling that made the Spitfire famous. With 95,829 units produced, the 1500 was the most popular Spitfire variant, making parts availability excellent for today's collectors. However, many were lost to rust and neglect, making clean survivors increasingly valuable. The 1500's combination of improved performance, refined handling, and classic British roadster character makes it an excellent entry point into Spitfire ownership. Values have steadily appreciated as collectors recognize these final Spitfires as the most developed of the line.
