Triumph Spitfire 1500, At least that's where the engine and front suspension come from!

That rod is er, visually challenging, to say the least, but I love his other two efforts.

The grille and lights are a bit odd. They seem to be too far forward, and the grille shell is at a weird angle, making it look like it's got a big nose, but the rest of it's pretty cool. Love the 'Cars' truck too.
Do many hot rods get built on the triumph platform?

I'm not to sure on the grille either but the biggest problem for me is that it looks like only ewoks and hobbits could drive it, I'm six foot and I reckon I'd struggle. Great idea tho'

Double A-arm suspension on the front of a fenderless rod never looks right, unless its some sort of high tech cantilever after on a tech-rod.

not exactly hot rods, but a couple of vehicles built on Triumph Herald chassis   |
