With the best will in the world as a devoted MGB owner ...
I know little about Triumphs but they did have IRS as you say (OK,
questionable in a tight corner) and FI in the 60s and 70s. By contrast MG
in that era were firmly rooted in the 50s. MGs *engineering* innovation was
squashed by the dead hand of corporate management after 1935. Their
*design* innovation, though, continued unabated, all the more remarkable
given the financial constraints.
