Triumph Spitfire Macau replica

 

In 1964, Triumph built a single seat Spitfire 1500 for their Hong Kong dealer, its first race was at the 1965 Grand Prix of Macau. According to this site the car eventually made it to the US where the rollbar was replaced with an offset fin behind the drivers head. 

This car, seen at British Car Day is a sort-of replica of that car, but with left hand drive and still a two seater. 

I'll add my 2 cents, that fin is ridiculous.

    I agree about the fin, it looks like an add on, but you must admit that the fellow standing behind it is wearing a cool t shirt!
