You know, the 7 was supposed to replace the 'B but the Chairman of
BL decided to give it to Triumph. Strange since the history of MGs
vs Triumphs would have lent itself more to MG, since they inovated
much more that Triumph. Since there isn't much difference other than
body panels and engine between a TR4a (IRS) and the TR6. Compare that
to the changes we see from TF to A to B.
