Oil cap refurbishment
A well-made restoration can be recognized by the attention paid to details, by the time dedicated to refurbish an original component over an aftermarket spare part. The oil cap used in the six-cylinders engines is no longer available and we show you how to renew it.

A treasure hunt!
In the mid-70s British Leyland commissioned the creation of a Spitfire sales brochure to be set in Italy. The result is a fine example of advertising that left some unanswered questions and the opportunity for a treasure hunt in the Tuscan hills.

Brackets for additional headlights
Fog lights and extra beam lights are a rather common optional on classic cars where they have a aesthetic - thanks to the reference to the rally cars - more than practical application. If you are planning to do it on your Spitfire Mk3 (or GT6 Mk2), bear in mind that it's not necessary to make a hole on the bumper or build a complex support.

Triumph Spitfire and GT6: A Guide to Originality
One good thing about the Spitfire is that you don't need to be a classic cars enthusiast to appreciate it but you just have to want to own and drive a fun, easy-to-manage roadster. But if you are an enthusiast or you became it thanks to her, maybe you'd like to know more about her and understand how much your car is close to originality. In this case no book will help you as much as the one by John Thomason would, so that almost everybody refers as it as "the bible".

Roadster TRX
Sarebbe dovuta essere l'erede della Roadster 1800 / 2000, ma questa bellissima auto si rivelò per la Standard troppo costosa, complicata e complessa da costruire con tutti i servomeccanismi di cui era abbondantemente dotata: e a Coventry sapevano bene che, come nella tradizione inglese, la metà di questi non avrebbe funzionato fin dall'inizio, mentre la seconda metà avrebbe smesso di funzionare in breve tempo. Un auto decisamente in anticipo sui tempi e oltre le capacità tecniche della Standard.
