| The 1500 Spitfire was
an evolution from the MkIV.
The biggest improvement was in the seat frames. Recliner meachanisms were added and later an adjustable headrest. The GT6 coarse grain vinyl was carried over into the 1500 but then changed |
back to smooth
on later models. Personally, I think the change is barely noticeable and
was probably made to reduce production costs.
Part-cloth seats were added with a distinctive houndstooth pattern. Production costs were kept down by using the same foams as the vinyl covers. |

| Seats |
| The seats were developed over the life of the MkIV and 1500. Basically there are four types: Non-Reclining; Reclining; Reclining with adjustable headrest; High Back. The mounting points remained the same throughout production so many owners have fitted the later, more comfortable seats... luckily they are quite easy to identify. |

High Back |

| Trim Boards |
| The trim boards are the same for the Spitfire MkIV and the Spitfire 1500. I offer two alternatives depending on what you are looking for: |
|
Heritage |
|
Look
for: |
Maximum
authenticity. Corner carpet panels and weld lines on the door panels, weld lines on the rear panel. The GT6 Mk3 door boards will also fit a Spitifre MkIV or Spitfire 1500 so I have included them as well. |

Classic |

for: |
Lower price. The same vinyl and CNC cut backing boards but without the original features |
