1974 Triumph Spitfire 1300 -Nut and bolt rebuild
The Triumph Spitfire is a small two-seat British sports car introduced in 1962 by Standard-Triumph and designed by Giovanni Michelotti. The Spitfire 1300 model, produced from 1970 to 1974, featured a 1, 296 cc engine and remains a popular classic for enthusiasts worldwide. Known for its lightweight construction, lively handling, and timeless design, it continues to be a favourite among classic car enthusiasts.
The restoration began in 2020 with the goal of building a better-than-new Triumph Spitfire, and I believe this goal was truly achieved. No expense was spared throughout the process, with meticulous attention to detail and many new os panels were professionally installed
