So this one’s stumped me a bit, because it has the grille from a Spitfire Mk. II (’65-’67), but no rear Mk. II badging as one would expect, indicating that perhaps it’s a Mk. I (’62-’64) with a Mk. II grille. But it also doesn’t have the Triumph logo up front that would be expected on either car. The final clue is that the registration sticker on the license plate says 1964, which is what I’m going with. But it also has quad exhausts (definitely not stock), so who knows. (EDIT: We’ve found someone who knows: it’s a ’63. Thanks, Eric!)

These pre-facelift first-generation Pathfinders are getting rarer every year. I always thought the rear quarter window’s being just a touch lower than the larger rear side window was a curious design decision. It almost makes it look like a pickup with a bed cover.
