The Triumph Spitfire is a timeless British roadster, celebrated for its nimble handling, sporty design, and lightweight chassis. At Smyth Imports, we specialize in Triumph Spitfire repair, restoration, and maintenance for Cincinnati enthusiasts who want to preserve the originality, performance, and style of this classic car.
Our technicians are highly experienced with all Spitfire models, from the Mk1 through Mk4, understanding the nuances of its 4-cylinder engine, manual transmissions, and classic electrical systems. Whether your Spitfire needs a full engine rebuild, brake restoration, or body and interior refurbishment, Smyth Imports ensures it drives and looks like it did when it first left the factory.
At Smyth Imports, we specialize in the maintenance, repair, and restoration of the classic Triumph Spitfire — a lightweight, agile British roadster cherished for its spirited handling and timeless design. Whether your Spitfire is a weekend driver, show car, or investment, our expert technicians deliver precision service that preserves originality while enhancing performance and reliability.
The Spitfire’s compact gearbox is a critical part of its driving experience. Worn synchros, clutch issues, or leaks can affect shifting and performance. We perform complete transmission rebuilds, clutch replacements, and differential inspections. Our team ensures smooth gear engagement, precise overdrive operation, and long-term reliability for every Spitfire model.
Classic Lucas electrical systems are notorious for intermittent issues. At Smyth Imports, we provide thorough diagnostics, wiring repairs, alternator and starter rebuilds, and lighting restoration. We can also upgrade components with modern fuse blocks and solid-state voltage regulators for improved dependability while maintaining period-correct authenticity.
The Triumph Spitfire’s braking system is vital for safe, confident driving. We rebuild calipers, replace master and wheel cylinders, service rotors and drums, and upgrade to modern brake lines where appropriate. Our goal is to restore original stopping power while preserving the classic feel of the Spitfire’s pedal response.
The Spitfire’s small-block four-cylinder engine delivers lively performance when properly maintained. We offer complete engine rebuilds, including machining, balancing, carburetor tuning, and ignition optimization. Our team corrects oil leaks, ensures smooth idling, and maximizes midrange torque. For enthusiasts, we also offer performance enhancements while keeping the engine historically accurate.
From its iconic low-slung profile to crisp lines, the Spitfire’s body requires expert care. We repair rust, align panels, and perform full paint refinishes using period-correct colors and materials. Chrome trim, badges, and fittings are restored, preserving both appearance and value. Whether minor touch-ups or full restorations, we bring your Spitfire back to showroom condition.
The Spitfire’s nimble handling is a hallmark of the model, and worn suspension components can quickly degrade performance. We rebuild front and rear suspensions, replace bushings, shocks, and control arms, and perform precision alignments. Steering repairs address play, stiffness, or vibration, restoring the responsive, connected feel every Spitfire owner expects.
