1976 Spitfire 1500 (Trixie)
We purchased this car from a very close friend who had traded a Miata for a Spitfire (the car had lived all its life in Florida and was essentially rust free). Ed had done some mechanical work on the car, repainted it, and then just let it sit in his shop. He already had about 4 MGB’s in various stages of restoration so the Spit was not a high priority.
When he mentioned it might be for sale, we bought it immediately then started working on getting it into Canada. Since it’s been in Canada, our 1500 Spit has had dual 1.5” SU’s, new radiator, exhaust system, interior, gas tank, front suspension, gauges and a refinished the dash board. It has been painted and polished and a few other minor changes.
