In 1973 in the United States and Canada, and 1975 in the rest of the world, the 1493 cc inline-four engine was used to make the Spitfire 1500. Later improvements to the suspension included longer swing axles and a lowered spring mounting point for more negative camber and a wider rear track. The wider, lower stance gave an impressive skid pad result of 0.87g average. This put the Spitfire far ahead of its competition in handling. Detail improvements continued to be made and included reclining seats with "chequered brushed nylon centre panels" and head restraints, introduced for domestic market cars early in 1977 along with a new set of column stalk operated minor controls (as fitted already in the TR7) replacing the old dashboard mounted knobs and switches. Also added for the model's final years were a wood dash, hazard flashers and an electric screen washer, in place of the previous manual pump operated ones. Options such as the tonneau cover, map light and overdrive continued to be popular, but wire wheels ceased to be available. This is a great entry level European classic racer; fun to drive and straightforward to work on.
