The Triumph Spitfire 4, also called Spitfire Mk1, was released in 1962, right after Leyland Motors took over Triumph and provided the necessary financial means so that the car could enter production. For a sports car, the Spitfire was not expensive at all, having been given some basic features. When this Triumph model’s first generation stopped being produced in 1965, 45.753 cars had been built.
