"If you like to put your bare foot on the gas pedal ... if you know who the world champion driver is ... if you like girls who swear by hot cars ... then the Spitfire is the car for you. It's so much fun, it's amazing that it's legal!"
That's more or less what the American ads for the new Triumph Spitfire actually said in 1963. The car cost a modest USD 2199 and the marketing people proudly referred to the Michelotti design and the low fuel consumption figures (35 mpg).
Yes, those were the days ...
Here is the complete advertisement, which can of course also be found in the Zwischengas picture archive .
