1966 Triumph Spitfire | Leatherhead, Surrey

This is a 1966 Triumph Spitfire, the compact British roadster that put open-air motoring within reach of ordinary buyers. It takes its name from the Second World War fighter, and it keeps period details such as wind-up windows and a bonnet that tips forward over the engine. This car is finished in Cream with a Blue interior, with bright chrome trim along the body. It is in excellent condition and seats two. The soft colour pairing reads cleanly on camera, and the low, small body leaves plenty of the location visible around it. Fashion, editorial and photography work suit those proportions, and a 1960s film or TV production gets a car from the right year. Music videos and advertising can use the open cockpit to show people at ease. Weddings and personal days out suit an open roadster too. The car is based in Leatherhead, Surrey.
