For a whole generation of car enthusiasts,
Triumph was the manufacturer to turn to when buying a sports car.
Whether it was a Spitfire or GT6 - or the more costly TR models - this
Coventry manufacturer was the sports car king during the twentieth
century. Now that these machines are fully fledged classics, nothing has
changed.& While the Spitfire has the MGB as a formidable adversary, the
GT6 is still in a class of its own. Triumph Spitfire and GT6 details the
history and development of these classic cars, with specification guides
for each of the five Spitfire derivatives and three GT6 models.

Mk3.
