Spitfire Photo Gallery

I’ve got loads of pictures of my old Triumph Spitfire and you can see the best ones on this site. To select the picture, just click on the corresponding thumbnail picture. I’ve put the picture sizes underneath so you know how big each one is.

When I first had the car – Summer 1998

The summer of 1998 was good and the Triumph Spitfire was a fun car to have in weather like that.
