I spent the day with aaran and his stunning car, the triumph spitfire MK4.
aaran uses this car as a daily driver and what a daily driver, it is a beautiful example of a classic British sports car in the best colour. and what a car to drive.
is this the coolest daily driver? it's definitely a good contender 🙂 thanks for watching 🙂

Bought my first 1970 new when I was 21. Gave it to myself for surviving the Vietnam War. Drove all over the west coast. Loved the lay down seats, saved me a bunch on motel rooms.

I also own a yellow mk4 Spitfire (1300, 1971). The first time I drove it down twisty countryside B roads in the sunshine with the top down put a huge smile on my face. It felt like I was driving the Lamborghini Miura in the intro of the Italian Job (before it explodes in the tunnel of course!) Great fun although personally I would not want to use it as a daily driver. Also should add that I agree about the pedals, they are shifted over to the right so like you say the clutch is where you expect the accelerator. I found that after a while on longer trips with your leg shifted over to the right constantly it is quite uncomfortable!

I have to say YES I Was the proud owner of a 1972 Spit. I live in Montréal Canada And I drove it everyday for 8 years, 12 months a year even during our tough winter.It always started even at minus 25 celsius. I was stupid to sell it when I had more than 240,000 miles. Simply à fun car. Jean-Pierre Samson

That's a great car there. And 240000 miles is a great milestone 🙂

Nice car! Have a family friend thats going to sell me one for $300 to build with my son. Cant wait to start working on it.

Easy ass car to work on. Most everything comes off with a wrench. American size wrenches work well. Have fun. I've own two and did all my own work.

Wow, I can't believe just how off the pedals are good old bl 😂 as stunning as they are I would still prefer a mx for a daily driver especially considering the price of a good spitfire now 🤯

@Flatcap_Media 28 дней назад

Best way to use the overdrive is to have it in 3rd gear with the overdrive on and when you pull out to overtake flick it out of overdive and away you go 🙂

@stunnicliffe1 10 месяцев назад

I had 2 spitfires....a 1300 one and a 1500 with o/drive. Both in the yellow colour. Wish I held onto the 1500 one :-(

@nickyalousakis3851 Год назад

I was specifically talking about riding along and the sound is at a given level, then BAM! It jumps to way loud. Not good. AN easy fix though. Otherwise, great vid.@@Flatcap_Media
