NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, surely you jest...lol. As a former Brit, let me define the decline and fall of the great Triumph marque! My dad had a Spitfire when I was 14 and I loved it, and the last great sports car that Triumph built was the TR6. The TR7 was a complete travesty of the TR tradition. They tried to 'modernize' a classic and failed miserably, forever condemning Triumph to the "Oh my god, what the hell was that" category...Everything leading up to it was evolutionary from the TR2 onwards, and then some British Leyland bozo (Harris Mann) decides "OOOh, let's change EVERYTHING, but still call it a TR so we can cash in on the cachet of the name". One can only hope that the aforementioned bozo was FIRED!
Of course, just my humble opinion and remember I'm the one that liked 'frogeye' Sprites...LOL
LOL
