The Triumph Spitfire Mark II was the second series of the small Standard-Triumph sports car, launched in March 1965 and built until 1967. It kept the Mark I body but gained a retuned engine with a revised camshaft profile, a water-heated intake manifold and a tubular exhaust manifold, which raised output to 67 bhp. The clutch changed to a Borg and Beck diaphragm spring type, though North American cars kept the coil-spring housing, and the car received a new grille and badges, revised seats and carpeting in place of the moulded rubber mats. Priced at 550 pounds against 505 for the Austin-Healey Sprite and 515 for the MG Midget, it was claimed to reach 96 mph and to cover 0 to 60 mph in 14.8 seconds.
