Jim,  there was a least one purple Spit. Would it have been called  Damson?

Damson is more like what one might call Maroon or possibly a "Plum" color.  
The car in question is Magenta. The colors all look a bit darker than 
original  on my monitor, but both colors and many other Triumph colors of the 
period can  be see at:

*Mrs Irrelevant: Oh, is it a jet?
*Man: Well, no ... It's not so  much of a jet, it's more your, er, Triumph 
Herald engine with wings.
