What’s special about this listing
- Performance-enhanced 1.5L engine with ISKY Racing Cams 261-degree cam, flat-top pistons, and Webber carburetor - modifications that likely exceed the stock 57 HP output
- California smog certificate valid through June 2026, a significant advantage for West Coast buyers despite being labeled a Gross Polluter in March 2026 (later passed smog)
- Previously listed at Bring a Trailer in May 2026 with a $4,600 reserve that did not sell; now re-listed at Cars & Bids with updated condition
- Full service documentation available including handwritten notes and printed receipts from the 2010 mechanical refurbishment and 2021-2026 ownership period
- 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive - a desirable feature for spirited driving on both city streets and highway cruising
- Recently repainted in factory Leyland White (November 2025) with hood dent repair, though soft top has a tear and antenna is stuck
- Comparable 1978 Spitfire 1500s have sold in the $5,200-$11,000 range over the past year. See the Triumph Spitfire market →
