No such thing as an "MG Spitfre."
There were MGs and Triumph (a separate company) made the Spitfire.
I used to drive a Spitfire in the 80's. Awesome little car and more legroom than you would expect.
Holy cow, thanks for that - hadn't had my coffee yet when I read the words MG Spitfire and wondered what Philip K Dick alternate universe I might've woken up in this morning 😄
Probably confusing the Spitfire with the MG Midget.
Depends on the date, youngster (or Boomer, whichever is appropriate).
Between 1975 and 1980 they were both part of British Leyland Limited after the Socialists (Wilson/Callaghan) in Britain nationalized the domestic manufacturers. Before that MG was British Motor Holdings (the Socialist Wilson's forced merger) and Triumph was Leyland (primarily a truck and bus maker). They may have been under the same ownership as early as the late 60s.

Well, I used to drive an MG Midget in the 80's and it would occasionally spit fire out the tailpipe.
We had a ‘72 Spitfire, and I loved that little car! Reverse went out on the transmission, but I could back it up by just putting my foot on the ground and pushing.
I won’t add insult to anyone’s injury by mentioning the many failures of the Lucas electrical system.
The little MG is a midget.
