Yes this is a 1500 model.

I own 71. You have original stromberg carb right? The hardtop not factory paint and the interior is not authentic.

@sidplicity it just has the downdraft weber which is a better carb. the black top adds a nice contrast.

I have been working on my 73 triumph spitfire 1500 - luckily minimal wiring issues. All I had to do was flush all fluids and replace. She starts up beautifully. No rust and I just finished wet sanding and priming her for her new red paint!

is that a 1500? i didn't think they made those in '73, thought they were still on the Mark IV

@james198694 they are reliable they just have minor stuff wrong with them all the time dont buy if your not willing to lift the hood and tinker a little bit

@james198694

I bought a 79 it is reliable mechanically but they tend to have wiring issues.

[james198694]

how reliable is a car like this? because i really want to get one and some people say they are reliable and some people say they are'nt i cant get a straight answer anywhere. I cant actually drive yet but i think 70's cars have so much more style anyway...
