Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Mechanically functional, in an older English roadster everything sounds a bit closer and louder, and it feels lively in both engine and gearbox. The body sags slightly on the driver’s side—a fairly typical characteristic for this type of car.
-
Interior condition
Worn interior in both seats and carpets; a new carpet set and seat upholstery are easy to find from several suppliers. The wooden steering wheel is intact but would probably appreciate a fresh coat of varnish, and the wooden parts of the dashboard could also use some polishing.
-
Exterior condition
The paint was a bit dull, according to the owner, so the car was given a polish. It has been partially repainted at some point. Otherwise, it presents well in yellow, though there are visible signs of corrosion on the lower edge of the right-hand door and partly on the sill. The soft top is intact, with slightly cloudy plastic windows, and comes with a neat and well-fitting top cover. A tonneau cover is also included—intact in both stitching and fabric, but in need of a thorough cleaning. Older Yokohama tires with good tread.
-
General condition
An unembellished but solid car in good basic condition for continued ownership and care—ready to drive and enjoy.

Facts about the model
The engine was tuned with the help of twin carburetors, and in October 1962, production of the Spitfire began. To keep costs down, the car was built in a simple, straightforward manner—something customers actually appreciated. Less popular was the tricky swing-axle rear suspension, another inheritance from the Herald. In a modest family car, the setup worked well enough, but combined with a stronger engine in a lightweight body, it resulted in severe oversteer, earning the Spitfire a fair amount of criticism for its handling during spirited driving.
In November 1970, the Mark IV model was introduced, featuring a redesigned rear end, a more elegant dashboard, and—finally—a fully synchronized gearbox. Most appreciated of all, however, was the revised rear suspension, which largely eliminated the worst of the oversteer.
