1968 Triumph Spitfire Mk III

The 1968 Triumph Spitfire Mk III is a British roadster manufactured in its third iteration that year. It features distinctive Italian-styled bodywork by Giovanni Michelotti and was built on a lightweight, rigid steel chassis with an independent rear suspension, setting it apart from earlier models which had a solid axle setup. This particular model benefited from Triumph's 1962-1980 series engines, sporting the 1247cc inline four-cylinder engine with overhead valves pushing out around 82 horsepower and mated to a close-ratio four-speed manual transmission. The Spitfire Mk III showcased its sporty character with features like full-width steel bumpers to accommodate larger turn signals and improved braking efficiency, while retaining its classic wire wheels fitted with Michelin XAS tires. Additionally, it gained a new optional hardtop, providing versatility for varying weather conditions without detracting from the timeless, open-top styling of this iconic British sports car.
