The Triumph Spitfire 1500 has a top speed of 101 MPH, not 90 MPH. The 1500 was the first production Spitfire to hit 100 MPH.

Both of them are very beautiful !! I love this video. Thanks from Japan.

Thanks for the support from Japan!

[@beforemytimecars4573]

A slow but beautiful race!

[@robblair3703]

The Spitty is a bit of a dark horse. On paper it should have lost twice, but it has pulled off the impossible twice.

[@webbsofweybridgeclassiccar7944]

It certainly gave us a surprise!

[@barrytrownson2368]

Where are you getting your specifications from. The spitfire 1500 is supposed to be 71bhp, 13.2s 0-60 and top speed of 101

[@timgillison1175]

That is what I thought too, and I used to have one.

[@barrytrownson2368]

@@timgillison1175 I do have one lol

[@ramsayblack5815]

Correct - the specs they are stating are for a Mk4 1300cc Spitfire…

This reminds me of two old men having a race with walking sticks and crutches, very sedate 😂

[@ricksanchez1472]

This is awesome! We need more... MORE!

[@webbsofweybridgeclassiccar7944]

Thanks Rick! Many more races in the pipeline

[@anjdog2003]

[@quickturn66]

Have the mga wheels been widened?

[@juliankent8875]

That was close.

[@jameskijowski563]

Very!

[@Schlipperschlopper]

Please Jaguar E Type 3.8 Mk1 Coupé vs Aston Martin DB4 or DB5!

[@PhilRounds]

Shouldn't the A be put up against a TR3?

[@webbsofweybridgeclassiccar7944]

That would be a closer match, but unfortunately we don't have a TR3. We're just racing our own fleet cars at the moment.

[@PhilRounds]

@@webbsofweybridgeclassiccar7944 Ya don't hear much about 3s these days. I don't suppose there are a lot of them around.

[@webbsofweybridgeclassiccar7944]

@@PhilRounds you really don't... they're becoming a bit of a collectors item
