The Appeal

An interesting conversion of the popular small lightweight sports car from Triumph, the Spitfire, featuring twin fold down Aero screens for that real retro classic roadster look.

Being lighter than the original, the car is an absolute pleasure to drive with precise steering and handling from the newly fitted suspension and Toyo tyres. The engine has been nicely tuned, carbs balanced and brakes fully reconditioned and, with a newly fitted master cylinder, this roadster is ready to hit the road.

All the original components and parts that were removed during the conversion come with the car and include a brand new hood, door glass, windscreen and the original seats
