Mark,
The first time Triumph used the 1493 engine in a Spitfire (for public
sale) was the 1973 model of US production. This was begun in August of
1972. The rest of the world got the 1296 engine until October of 1974.

Does anyone know the approximate date that the factory started the
switch
over from the 1296cc engine to the 1493cc?
Cheers!
