Good laugh there!
My aunt probably still the TR6 she bought decades ago. It was a carport queen. Sharp little car.
too many rolled. The TR7 didn't last at all. I liked the older triumphs. Unfortunately I haven't seen many new models lately.
Those British cars are worth more, and more every year.
Everyone I have ever talked to who sold their for $50 bucks or left it with a relative, or abandoned it in a junkyard say, without failing, that it was one their biggest regrets ever in their lives.
When I was in High School, TRs, MGs, and the like were cars for people who could not afford a Camaro. Today, they are amazing collectible cars. You just have sort out the electricals, and then they are amazing.
