The Triumph Spitfire was produced between the years 1962 and 1980. It was originally designed by an Italian stylist named Giovanni Michelotti. Consumers wanted a smaller, sportier car and Triumph gave them exactly that. It also came with a lower price tag than most other models made by Triumph. In 1962 the Spitfire was sold as a convertible and a hatchback coupe version was later added in 1967. After a few years, the coupe version was dropped in 1976. The convertible remained the same until the end of production in 1980.
Being a British company, it only makes sense that the car's name would be something British. It was in fact named after a famous World War II fighter plane. The original cost was only $2,200. The design, cost, and catchy name combined allowed the Spitfire to be a hit with those in the market for a new car. The small yet tough frame gave customers a secure sense of mind when driving it.
The Spitfire was made into four generations. The Spitfire 4, or Mark 1, the Spitfire Mark II, the Spitfire Mark III, the Spitfire Mark IV, and the Spitfire 1500. Each generation included upgrades in style and motor. The engine in the Spitfire Mark I was a four cylinder with 1147 cc. It was considered comfortable and featured a large steering wheel. The Spitfire Mark II featured a four speed manual engine with optional overdrive. It featured a new grille design and improved seating as well. The Spitfire Mark III featured a bored out engine and quieter exhaust system. It was known as the fastest Spitfire yet. The Spitfire Mark IV came standard with a full width dashboard and wood center console to improve cosmetic appearances. The Spitfire 1500 came with an upgraded interior and optional hardtop.
