The Triumph Spitfire, a British roadster produced by Triumph Motor Company from 1962 to 1980, is a legendary classic car renowned for its sporty design, nimble handling, and affordable price. The 1962-1974 models, covered by this service repair manual, represent the first generation of the Spitfire, a time when the car was still finding its identity and gaining popularity. These early Spitfires were powered by a 1.1-liter four-cylinder engine, capable of generating around 65 horsepower. While not exceptionally powerful, the engine's lightweight and the car's low weight combined for a surprisingly spirited driving experience. The Spitfire's minimalist design, featuring a canvas top and roll-up side windows, emphasized its purpose as a pure driving machine. Its compact dimensions and independent suspension provided a thrilling and responsive driving experience, making it a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking a fun and affordable roadster.

The first generation Spitfire evolved over its production run, with notable changes to the bodywork, engine, and interior. The original Mk1, produced from 1962 to 1964, featured a distinct, almost spartan, design with a single round headlight on each side. In 1964, the Mk2 arrived, sporting a larger grille and a more refined interior. The Mk3, introduced in 1967, brought a more modern look with a wider grille and more sculpted bodywork. The Mk4, produced from 1970 to 1974, further refined the design and introduced a larger 1.3-liter engine, adding even more power and performance to the already lively car. These changes, along with ongoing improvements to the engine and drivetrain, ensured the Spitfire remained a popular and desirable car throughout the 1960s and 70s. The service repair manual for this period is an invaluable resource for owners and enthusiasts looking to maintain and restore these iconic British roadsters, ensuring these timeless classics remain on the road for generations to come.
