 Triumph Spitfire 4 Road Test, Car & Driver Magazine, January 1963.
Triumph Spitfire 4 is a most exciting new, small sports.car.
The Spitfire does not oversteer until it is really forced into a comer, when the sliding of the rear end is fully controllable.
Men and women with narrower shoulders would not notice the lack of space, but I felt that a slight modification of the right door would be a good idea, and it might even be possible to move the seat fractionally towards the centre of the car.

 Vintage Triumph Register - VTR
Triumph produced the fun and affordable Spitfire for 18 years, during which time over 314,000 were built.
Spitfire production ended in August 1980 as the car fell victim to short-sighted management at British Leyland, U.S. safety and emissions regulations, and an unfavorable dollar/pound exchange rate.

 International Triumph Spitfire Database
The Spitfire was designed by Giovanni Michelotti based upon the Triumph Herald frame, drive train and suspension.
The Spitfire's design remained basically the same but was modernized in appearance and some modifications were made to the rear suspension for cornering stability.
In an ongoing effort to identify and record the number and geographic location of all remaining Triumph Spitfires, this database was established.

 Mike's Triumph Spitfire: Twenty Years of Fun!
Well, even though I had not done the work on the GT6 that I had wanted to during the previous year, I thought that I could get this early Spitfire, which is not in as bad a shape as the GT6, and fix it up in a few years time.
I found a "Family Triumph", a Triumph 2000 Mk1 which, being 38-years-old, needs some work, so this Spitfire Mk2 project is again delayed.
I have a baby and a family Triumph and a Spitfire 1500.

 APT Valve Train for Triumph Spitfire, TR6, GT6, MG Midget 1500
The simplex (single) camshaft drive on late model 1300 and 1500cc Triumph engines can be changed over to a duplex (double) chain drive by using Kent's adjustable steel timing gear set part number VCS-07.
This is a really neat installation which also gives the ability to dial in the cam timing easily and quickly, not to mention accurately.
Triumph engines like short duration and reasonable lift, and with the cam lobe center configured correctly, as the APT cams are, substantial performance increase can be obtained over a wide power band and with good long term reliability.

 Jeff's Classic '68 Triumph Spitfire Mk3 Site
By the time I purchased it from her, my '67 Spitfire had covered roughly 54,000 miles as I recall, and came complete with the top boot, tonneau cover, owners manual, original AM radio and a recent set of carpets.
The Spitfire would be my sole mode of transportation for the next two years, before being sold under duress.
I also was pleased to discover that the value of Spitfires really hadn't risen all that much, especially when compared to other marques, like the MGA I used to own for example.

As rudimentary as the Spitfire is, the Miata is sophisticated, but it’s hidden beneath a veneer of disarming simplicity.
Surprisingly quick, the Spitfire lets in whatever the surface it is traversing right through the steering wheel and seats – no, the 5.20-13 nylon ply rubber was doing nothing to dilute the feedback.
Actually, the Spitfire boasts an all-independent suspension set-up and also a backbone chassis which was new when the car was launched in 1962.
