The Triumph Spitfire Mark III, introduced in March 1967 and built until 1970, was the first major facelift of the Standard-Triumph sports car. The front bumper was raised to meet new crash rules, the folding hood was simplified and a wood-veneer dash and a smaller wire-spoked steering wheel appeared inside. The 1,147 cc engine was replaced by a bored-out 1,296 cc unit shared with the Herald 13/60 and the 1300 saloon, giving a claimed 75 bhp and a top speed of 95 mph. The 100,000th Spitfire left the Canley line in February 1968, with more than three quarters of production exported. From 1969 cars for the United States were federalised for safety and emissions rules, and dual-circuit brakes arrived on the 1968 model.
