Just fo yo info, the name has nothing to do with the airplane and the war and all that nazi feelings. The drivers side is on the wrong half, I like the car, I'm just about to buy one despite that it is British. Thanks fo the showing.
Like the video man, just easy on the accelerator and you wont have to spin that wheel so quickly, its the same in my TR. Glad to see you're a Triumph nut too, Mikey
@hvaskerderfordig So, . .your like 15-16? haha, well cool anyway .. i´m 16 and have just got contact to dealer who has a an exellent 74´spitfire. hope its in my garage soon.. where have you bought parts for the car?
Whilst trying to do clarkson what you accidently did was a fab impression of Griff Rhys Jones. You clearly put in some thought and effort which is good... at least give the car a bit of a run to warm her up before driving it 20ft tho cause most carbed cars run poor until warm and do some ADR and repost it so we can hear what ur saying :)
@morri32 They are just jealous.. :) I have a mk2, do you still have the car? Btw you really described the car well! Its only a spitfire, but it is british motoring history!
buy a razor and shave the pubes off your lip. stop trying to talk like jeremy clarkson and dont take a car for a test drive for 10 yards then say 'that was fantastic!' fuck off you twat.
@gildo93 look mate, I did this when I was i pubesent little tosser so I dont need some complete faggot to tell me I'm a twat so stick your commet up your fat arse, cos to be honest, I really don't care
buy a razor and shave the pubes off your lip. stop trying to talk like jeremy clarkson and dont take a car for a test drive for 10 yards then say 'that was fantastic!' fuck off you twat.
Cheeky fucker.....Just cos its a Leyland dosen't mean it will drop to pieces in 5mins.....Its still goin after 30years...see if any suzuki car is worthy anything after that long.
Nice video, glad to see a younger guy with some respect for an older car. I drove one as a student for 7 years as a daily driver, including a couple of Canadian winters. Lots of good memories! I can't recommend changing from a single carb to twin carbs enough though, biggest improvement in power ever!
that was really really bad. I love that a younger guy likes the spitfire, but tat video is just.....not well done. also...should you be driving? i mean, do you have a liscence?
How do you figure?... the small chassis triumphs are pretty bullet proof mechanically. and the engines are the best part, I don't see for a second why you'd think that a Morris Minor would be more reliable. If you said Honda Accord, mabe you'd have a point!
@pavelow235 reliability would be very similar with lucas distributors,su carbs, drum rear brakes (discs on front of spit) weak gearboxes (both) and average for the time pushrod engines. and the spit does not have the unreliable electric petrol pump of the minor.
lol... You can buy Triumph Spitfires for under $2,000.00 US fully running, and under $1,000 needing a bit of elbow grease. Very cheap cars. I own three, and I've spent less than $10,000 buying all of them and restoring them to showroom condish.
i just bought a 78 spitfire. in love with the car and in love with the show Top Gear. i'm trying hard to let you not distroy both,. dont try anything like this again.. please
I used to drive my spitfire like that. At about your same age I was. Then, one evening I had a few beers and went for a drive....and really learned to drive her. Amazing little car it was...
oh really well at least the triumph has miles per gallon not yards per gallon and an american car is fit for american roads but european cars are fit for all roads
omg dude ur driving sucks and you need 2 learn 2 shift and the car needs paint like bad an american car is much better lets see that little thing beat a 67 mustang or a corvette i doubt it could even beat a mazda miata
Enjoyed your film . Put the camera clamp on the car bonnet is worth a try . Have a look at my film OUT AND ABOUT IN THE MGB . It is not bad , not as good as your film though ha .
we all stole the car at 14 and snuck it back, without getting caught, but hell not all of us had the ball sto record it and make a show out of it!! I had a Triumph Super GT with V-6 Ford Capri engine in it, the thing was an evil monster, you could smoke the tires through 4 gears, I almost lost my license over it.
i'm a proud owner too, and found this video very amusing :) the lines you said could've easily been Jeremy Clarkson's :) Although the camera work is far from as good as the top gear tests of course :) But well done!
Its to bad triumph really built a crappy motor for this car. The 1500 didnt have any real cam bearings and real weak cam springs. Our 1500 made 40K then needed a total rebuild. One whole cam was wiped and pushrod bent. Good old triumph! Im looking to get a gt6 now. Thats a real triumph!
Good lad...I got one for my 18th birthday in 1981...I loved it more than life itself. I've got a 911 C4S now and it doesn't bring me 1% of the pleasure my Spitfire did. I was the god of Brighton.
ack well what ever makes people happy. not a fan of british cars as 99% of them are just plain rubbish. a different video, which is a good thing i suppose, well done for being abit original man.
LOL at least you where honest. British cars are fun to drive and unique on the road that about sums up British cars. "If you change gears fast enough" LOL.
That one looks a good sight better than the old mkIV banger I drove for a while. My gripes were the Herald based low geared steering and the severely whining diff - 100dB @ 55mph is no fun hence my use of earplugs when I drove it.
You look like a little girl

I think your intention is the greatest and i realy liked your video ;)
But i think you have to consider the light when you are filming (Like photography)
The sound is important 2. Try to use cotton on the speaker to filter the sound from wind.
But keep posting more for us to see ;)
