Evolving through five guises over the course of an eighteen-year production run, the final Spitfire variant, the 1500, arrived in 1974.
With a reputed 71bhp and 82lbft of torque on tap from its 1493cc OHV four-cylinder engine, the newcomer boasted genuine 100mph performance.
Visually indistinguishable from its MkIV forebear save for some minor trim differences, the Spitfire 1500 was a decent seller on both sides of the Atlantic and the model remained in production until August 1980.
