The Triumph Spitfire and GT6 family is one of the most timeless small British sports car families. Sporting four pot roadsters and hard-hitting six-cylinder coupes, they attracted a reputation as cars for serious enthusiasts. We’ve got the lot here, we’ve seen some of the finest examples on road and track, we’ve delved into their history to learn the facts, we’ve looked at the things you never knew and brought together all the best advice for would-be buyers. The Triumph Spitfire is arguably the ultimate classic sports car - with excellent parts availability, a strong following among owners and clubs, and one which still offers great value for money. The GT6 builds upon that with a sonorous six pot and the power to make you feel like you’re in a full-sized sporting hero - but while still fitting in the garage. And this bookazine is our celebration of the pair. We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed making it.
