Still, injected TR5, TR6 or Big Six Triumph saloon, it's arguably the best
fun behind a Triumph wheel that I know of with your clothes on.

Let me second that! I can definitely state that after owning a TR3 and 4 TR6s',
driving my PI TR6 is a bigger kick in the pants! The engine has a "bark" to it
(although I do still love hearing the sound of a North American TR6 engine) with
great throttle response and plenty of torque! There are a few listers on this
side of the pond who own and drive PI TRs, e.g., Eric Q and Chris B. who might
share these same sentiments.
As for maintenance, I must say that it is relatively hassle free. I had my
system overhauled by a TR workshop in the UK. I just reinstalled it - a basic
nuts and bolts operation. To adjust/tune the PI, all that was necessary was to
calibrate the throttle butterflies and idle air flow - all very easy compared to
messing with the carbs on my other TRs. If this is all that I have to do for
the next 30K miles (at which point I expect to have routine maintenance
performed) then the PI system will have proven itself to be one of great value!
