The Triumph Spitfire Mark IV went on sale in the United Kingdom at the end of 1970 and was built until 1974. It had a redesigned rear in the style of the Triumph Stag and the Triumph 2000, a new bonnet pressing without weld lines on the wings, recessed door handles and a full-width dashboard with the instruments ahead of the driver. The 1,296 cc engine was rated at 63 horsepower for the UK, and in 1973 it received larger big-end bearings to match the TR6 engine and was detuned for emissions rules. The heavily criticised swing-axle rear suspension was decambered with what Triumph called a swing spring, which improved handling. The base price was 735 pounds and the claimed top speed fell to 90 mph.
