I'm thinking Mk3 Spitfire at least through 1969; at the moment I can't
remember about the 1970 Mk3, nor can I lay my hands on any pictures or sales
literature for same.

Did Spits ever have an expanded metal collapsible section in the steering
shaft designed to crush in a frontal impact?

Only if there was something akin to that in the TR7-style steering column
adopted by the 1977 and later Spitfire 1500 models.
