The car takes up the recipe invented by the English: a chassis and an engine derived from the large series; namely the chassis of the Triumph Herald and the 948 cm3 bored out of the Standard 8. Thanks to these savings, Michelotti - Triumph's official designer - will be able to design it a dress that is both sexy and elegant and with a much more suggestive sporty line than the capabilities of its rigid rear spring chassis. The success will be immediate and the Spitfire will dethrone the Midget and other Sprite to represent up to a fifth of the brand's sales. Since then, the Spitfire will receive constant improvements and 5 evolutions will succeed from the MK1 to the 1500 FH. Produced in 45,000 units from 1962 to 1964 and equipped with an 1100 cm3 engine, the Spitfire 4 for 4 cylinders is also called Spitfire MK1 for chronological genealogy. Some modified units will be engaged by the factory in rallies and at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a category victory in 1965.
