Talk about globalization; this guy took the pride (…) of British roadsters, a 1976 Triumph Spitfire and stuffed it with Japan’s iconic R31 Nissan Skyline RB20 powertrain. According to the fella that’s selling the pimped roadster on eBay, the Skyline’s 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is good for a whopping 425 Hp. Not bad if you consider that, the Spitfire weighs just about… 1,800 lbs or 815 kg. Of course, there’s no way of verifying the sellers claim on the engine’s output, but if true, this is one Triumph that can definitely spit some serious fire-power. -More pics after the jump
