Nope. Spitfire never came with a 6. That was the GT-6. Same frame and
interchangeable body parts, except you need the GT-6 bonnet to fit over the 6
cyl. engine. Lots of Spit owners put the 6 in thier cars to have the higher
performance in an open body. I always wondered why Triumph never thought of
that!
The original racing Spitfire was a fixed head fastback that looks a lot like
the GT-6.
Enough TR stuff on the Spridgets list. Pardon my indiscretion.
