Hi Folks-
Looking at a couple of Spitfires in my area. I know, they are the overlooked Triumph but every since I dated a Colonel's daughter in the late 70's who drove one I've had a soft spot. (In my head, maybe...)
What is the best year for them? I like the clean lines of the square backs and realize that improvements carried through the series but the Gawd awful safety bumpers are just fugly! Series 2's are cool looking and not horribly priced. (OK, no Spitfire is horribly priced) but I'm thinking a series 3 would hit a sweet spot.
Any opinions from the Spituminnati?
Thanks in advance for any shared opinions and knowledge.
Best-
