duPont REGISTRY Live presents this charming 1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500, finished in Blue over a Tan leather interior and showing 42,561 miles. Powered by a 1.5-liter inline-four and paired with a four-speed manual transmission, this Spitfire offers the lightweight, uncomplicated driving experience that has long defined Triumph's classic British roadsters.

The Spitfire 1500 represents the final generation of Triumph's popular two-seat roadster, combining its compact dimensions with a simple rear-wheel-drive layout and traditional manual gearbox. Its lightweight construction, low seating position, and open-air character make it an approachable and engaging classic for enthusiasts looking to enjoy the charm of a vintage British sports car.

The exterior is finished in Blue and features 13-inch steel wheels, chrome bumpers, and both a black hard top and black soft top. The compact proportions, long hood, and distinctive front-end styling give the Spitfire its unmistakable character, while the combination of blue paint and black convertible hardware provides a clean, classic appearance.

Inside, the cabin is trimmed in tan leather upholstery and features a wood-grain dashboard and matching wood-grain shift knob. The straightforward cockpit retains the period character of the Spitfire, with simple controls and instrumentation reinforcing its lightweight, driver-focused personality.

Power comes from a 1.5-liter inline-four, paired with a four-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. The combination of modest power, light weight, and a traditional manual gearbox provides the engaging, mechanical character expected from a classic British roadster and makes the Spitfire particularly enjoyable at everyday speeds.

Showing 42,561 miles, this 1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500 offers a classic combination of Blue paint, Tan leather, dual roof configurations, and four-speed manual transmission. Its approachable size, open-air character, and simple mechanical layout make it an enjoyable example of Triumph's iconic British roadster. The sale includes one key, a car cover, and booklet.

Inspectors Notes: The Spitfire is a fantastic "smiles per gallon" proposition. This example wears a great shade of blue over the tan interior. It's reported that this car was restored many years ago for the daughter of the proprietor of the Hale Collection. The car saw regular road use for a few years before being put in storage. More recently, it was pulled out of storage about 4 years ago and refreshed to be ready for regular use again.
