1972 Triumph Spitfire | Winchester, Hampshire

The Triumph Spitfire is a compact British roadster, liked for its small proportions and relaxed open-air driving. It takes its name from the Second World War fighter. Period details include wind-up windows and a bonnet that tips forward over the engine. This 1972 car is Red with a Black interior, a strong contrast that reads clearly on camera. Its low, short body leaves plenty of room in shot for the location behind it, and with the roof down both occupants are easy to frame. That suits advertising, music videos, fashion and editorial shoots, and film or TV work set in the 1970s, where a small open car sets the period at once. Weddings and personal days out suit it too, as a cheerful open-top car for a couple. It is based in Winchester, Hampshire.
