Description
The Triumph Spitfire and GT6: Setting the Small Sports Car Standard By John Nikas and Marc Vorgers Amberley Publishing, 2019 This concise guide explores the history and development of the iconic Triumph Spitfire sports car. Introduced in 1962, the Spitfire was designed to compete in the small sports car market against models like the Austin-Healey Sprite. Based on an adapted Triumph Herald chassis, its sleek design was crafted by Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti. The book delves into the technical and design developments that took the Spitfire through five separate models, from the early Triumph Spitfire 4 (Mark 1) to the more powerful Triumph Spitfire 1500. It also covers the competition models, providing a comprehensive understanding of this beloved sports car. With over 300,000 units built, the Spitfire remains a sought-after model among enthusiasts. This book is an ideal resource for anyone looking to learn about the Spitfire's history and development.
