Paul,
You wrote regarding the pending demise of your MGB, and the
lack of space in your chosen LBC. If you are of average
height may I suggest a TR4? I restored one several years
back. I found it quite suitable to go shopping in, once back
on the road. My two teenage daughters and my wife used to pile
in the car and we would go grocery shopping on a weekly basis.
One at the supermarket we would do our shopping and travel
back home... the whole family, wife, girls, and food enough for
my family of 4 humans and 5 cats (oh yeah we also managed to
stuff a 30 lb. bag of cat litter in the wee beastie, too!).
The TR4 has a surprising amount of space behind the driver and
an amazingly large boot. I believe the boot can hold more stuff
than the boot of my Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX!
Finally, you will probably find there are more TR4s out there
Heralds and Vitesses. But i your heart is set on that particular
Triumph, I'd opt for the Vitess... If you can find a decent one.
