This is my 1975 Triumph Spitfire 1500. I got this car in September '08 from a guy in Indy that hardly drove it. I got it home and started to work. This car is heavily modified, but is still able to be driven on the street with ease. I have put over 350 miles on this car in a single day without any hiccups (my back was a little sore from the stiff ride) Some of the things modified or replaced parts are listed below. I can't list it all because I can't remember everything I have had to do to this car. I'm still working on a new dash to have the radio mounted in place of the climate controls and install an oil press. gauge.
