1974 Triumph Spitfire 1300 - White with Black Vinyl Interior This 1974 Triumph Spitfire 1300 is a wonderful slice of British motoring history, presented in classic white with a smart black vinyl interior. What makes this example truly stand out is the exceptional history file an incredible 91 service and parts invoices along with letters from previous owners, showing just how cherished this little roadster has been over the years. The Triumph Spitfire was first launched in 1962, styled by Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti and engineered on a shortened Herald chassis. Over the years it evolved through five versions, with the Mk IV, built between 1970 and 1974, benefitting from a full synchromesh gearbox and improved rear suspension. Your 1974 model represents the last of the 1300cc cars before the 1500 arrived, striking the perfect balance of classic character and everyday driveability. Under the bonnet sits the 1,296cc inline-four engine producing 63bhp (DIN), paired to a four-speed manual gearbox. Performance is spritely enough to enjoy the open road, with a top speed close to 90mph. More importantly, the car delivers that light, nimble handling the Spitfire has always been loved for. This particular example is about more than just figures and specs it's about provenance. With nearly five decades of paperwork carefully retained, it tells the full story of where it's been, who's looked after it, and how well it has survived. That sort of history is rare to find, and it gives genuine confidence to the next owner. Affordable to run, great fun to drive, and timeless in looks, the Triumph Spitfire remains one of the most approachable classics on the market.
