The Triumph
Spitfire was introduced in the year 1962. Triumph wanted a smaller and
more affordable sports car alongside the Triumph TR as an alternative for
the Austin Healey Sprite and the MG B...
The Triumph Spitfire was equipped with an uprated four cylinder Triumph
Herald engine. The engine was covered by a large bonnet enveloping the
entire front of the car just like we see with the Jaguar E-type. The Spitfire
was designed by the Italian designer Michelotti who had drawn the TR 4
and Triumph Herald too.
Between the years 1962 and 1967 the MK I and MK II were built. From 1967
the MK
III and from 1970 the MK IV. In the year 1974 the 1500 appeared on the
market as final version which was continued until the year 1980.
