i just bought...

[Agrispeed]

A triumph spitfire

its slightly tatty, and noisy, slow, expensive and dangerous

the two people who looked at with me agree, its the most fun we've ever had!

That is all.

[Piepiepie]

Price?

[Watchman]

Fun. Something so often overlooked.

Looks really nice. If I passed two people in one those wearing warm clothing and beaming smiles, I'd have to smile too.

[snuffle]

That looks like quite a nice example, wise purchase, good fun and easy to work on.

[ZOLLAR]

Very jealous right now
Although I'm really tempted by Triumph GT6s at the moment, hope you have fun with her!.

Despite graduating to more exotic cars,I still rate some of my best motoring experiences
as an 18year old driving the back lanes of east Sussex in my .

Sitting inches of the ground,wind in the hair,smelling the burning castrol gtx that was always
leaking,I felt like a driving god,even though I probably never exceeded the speed limits..

I drove one once. It was ace.

[macp]

That looks brilliant I can feel the envy growing within me

[NiceCupOfTea]

Lovely. So much more interesting than an MGB </sacrilege>

[Agrispeed]

£2,500.

tidyish, not much filler, and drives well, although possible head gasket issues...

should I mention its my first car....

[Changedmyname]

Love that, very natty, a proper sports car.

[benzito]

nice!

[matthias73]

That IS nice!
I wanted one last year. Saw the perfect one. Went to have a look as it was local, it had rotting door sills, but a brand new leather interior.

I gave up after that.. :\ I wish I hadn't now I've seen yours!

[andynic]

Looks very nice, had a fire engine red GT6 for a while many years ago and loved it, so easy to work on. Great purchase.

its amazing, your so involved, heavy pedals, heavy steering, and LOUD! sitting lower than wing mirror height, looking between the lights, 30MPH feels more like 65!

its the opposite to everything i hate about every modern car i have ever driven...

cant wait till i pass my test aha

[soad]

That's nice, will stand out from the newish cars!!
Must be good time (price wise) to buy a convertible too.

Watch out for the rear wheels tucking under, causing overstear at the limit.
You'll enjoy the spitfire, easy to work on, and fun at nearly legal speeds

Brilliant first car..!! And if you end up having to spend some time on its maintenance you'll become as mental about cars as me, no doubt. Nice one..!!

I don't think that's fair with the Mark 4. I've had lots of swing axle Triumphs, but my mate's Mk4 Spit showed none of that at all AND was standard. You could rag it around corners with no regard for the back end at all, more so than my Midget, that's for sure. Now my Vitesse...that's another story!!

[sawman]

Better not go out on a windy day

Seriously though, its a great first car, hope you have fun
