Originally based on the Herald platform
the Spitfire is a pretty little roadster aimed squarely at the MGB
and Austin Healey - odd that all the players were BMC cars!
The Triumph Spitfire was a small British two-seat sports car,
introduced in October 1962. The vehicle was based on a design
produced for Standard-Triumph in 1957 by Italian designer Giovanni
Michelotti. The codename for the vehicle was the "Bomb". The car was
largely based on the Triumph Herald saloon, and throughout its life
was built at the Standard-Triumph works at Canley, Coventry.
