Well, in fairness, that honor of "most produced Triumph" would go to the 
Spitfire's "father": the Herald line, with nearly half a million total. 
The Herald 1200 saloon ALONE accounted for over 200,000 sales. Total 
sales of all models of Spitfire was a bit over 300,000. No other Triumph 
models come all that close to either Spitfire or Herald!
