No, the improved rear suspension your talking about to was introduced with
the MKIV model year. But if your really concerned you can upgrade earlier
Spitfires to the later specification fairly easily. I prefer the later
MKIII because of the way they look, their much better parts availability and
larger engine among other improvements but it's your call. Buy the car you
like best -
