Triumph Spitfire (United Kingdom, 1962-1980)

In 1962, Triumph launched a small 2-seat sports car named Triumph Spitfire. This model was produced for the next nearly two decades, spawning 5 generations. From 1962 to 1981, an estimated 314.332 Spitfires were produced.   The Triumph Spitfire was only launched and began being produced once Leyland Motors took over Triumph, providing the necessary financial means to build it.
