When I traded in my Spitfire in 1974 for a new orange Opal Manta
Rallye (there's no accounting for taste), I instantly missed the Spitfire. I
had had many good times in that car. It was the perfect car for a college
student, who had always loved sports cars in general, and Triumphs in
particular. Spitfire cars have a magnificent heritage, being named after
the airplanes that saved England during World War II. They are easy to
fix, parts are still readily available, and they have a classic design that is
appreciated by all those who encounter them.
The following pages comprise TRF's new Spitfire catalogue. All
Spitfire variations are covered from the Spitfire mk.1 with its gutsy little
1147cc engine through the Spitfire 1500. Many parts are available still
from original suppliers, others have been reproduced by ourselves and by
others throughout the world. As it was back in 1972, today is a good
time to own and drive a Spitfire.
