Classic Triumph Spitfire 4.
This is one of the very early Spitfires. The '4' was fitted with the Standard-Triumph 1147cc engine. Low door handles identify this as a '4' as opposed to the slightly later Mk2 that also featured the low slung front bumper. The Mk3 would see its bumper raised to across the bonnet air intake and its engine increased to 1296cc.
Triumph Books Whether for the Spitfire 4 as shown below, or any other type of Triumph, it is worth having a look on Amazon for books, DVDs, Videos etc.

Spitfire 4 on display at Tatton Park, Cheshire.
If you have any more info or restoration stories about this particular Spitfire 4, or Spitfire 4s in general, I'd really like to feature it on oldclassiccar.
I took all these photos at the classic & vintage show held at Tatton Park, in June 2005. The Triumph shown above was one of several hundred vehicles held in the grounds of this National Trust property.
