Introduced in late 1964, the Spitfire Mk II refined Triumph’s compact roadster with more power, improved seating and a better-appointed cabin, while retaining the lightness and mechanical simplicity of the original Michelotti design.

Singapore-registered from new in 1965, this example remains on daily-use black plates. Finished in white over a black interior, it features wire wheels, a Steerite sports steering wheel and a removable hardtop for the option of open-top or enclosed motoring.

With its current owner for more than 10 years, it presents as a very well-kept example of one of Britain’s most charming small roadsters.
