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 care, maintenance, and restoration of the legendary Triumph TR6 — a British roadster celebrated for its muscular inline-six engine, engaging driving dynamics, and timeless design. Whether you drive your TR6 on weekends or showcase it at events, our team provides precision mechanical and cosmetic services that preserve authenticity while enhancing reliability and performance.
The Triumph TR6’s gearbox is at the heart of its engaging driving experience. Over time, synchro wear, clutch issues, or oil leaks can impact smooth shifting. Our technicians perform full gearbox rebuilds, clutch replacements, and differential inspections. We also service the optional Laycock overdrive units, ensuring crisp, dependable gear changes that keep your TR6 performing like it should.
Aging wiring, weak grounds, and worn Lucas components often cause intermittent faults in vintage Triumphs. We provide full electrical diagnostics and rewiring services, alternator and starter restoration, and lighting system repair. Our team can also modernize certain components — such as installing solid-state voltage regulators or upgraded fuse blocks — to increase reliability while maintaining period correctness.
Proper braking is critical for enjoying your TR6 safely and confidently. We rebuild calipers, replace wheel cylinders, master cylinders, and flexible lines, and perform rotor and drum resurfacing. Whether restoring original Girling components or upgrading to stainless steel lines and performance pads, we ensure optimal stopping power while preserving your car’s authentic pedal feel.
The TR6’s 2.5L inline-six delivers a distinctive growl and torque-rich performance — when properly tuned. Smyth Imports specializes in full engine rebuilds, from machining and balancing to carburetor synchronization and ignition calibration. We correct oil leaks, optimize compression, and fine-tune fueling to deliver smooth idle, strong midrange, and that unmistakable Triumph sound. For performance enthusiasts, we also offer camshaft upgrades and head porting.
The TR6’s long hood and aggressive stance make it one of the most striking British sports cars ever built. Our restoration experts handle rust repair, panel alignment, and full resprays using high-quality finishes in factory-correct colors. Chrome bumpers, trim, and badging are restored to original brilliance, while our protective coatings ensure long-term durability and shine.
The TR6’s independent suspension gives it superb handling, but worn bushings, shocks, or joints can quickly degrade ride quality. We inspect and rebuild front and rear suspension systems, including lever-arm damper replacements, bushing upgrades, and full alignment services. Our steering repairs address play, stiffness, or noise, restoring the TR6’s signature balance of precision and comfort.
