Fellow TR Enthusiasts,
I've been reading what has been happening with the Rover sale, and I
must say I am not impressed on how it is being handled. I agree with
the pundits that putting the MG badge on crappy old Rovers is not the
way to sell cars. Can we say "Triumph Acclaim" or "MG Metro"? Even
though we all have a friendly rivalry with the MG folks, I really would
hate to see a good British sportscar name be tarnished. But as I read
the posts to the list about Rover, I can't help but wonder: who will
continue to own the other marques, such as Austin/Austin Healey, Morris,
Wolsley, Riley, Standard, Triumph, etc.? Does BMW still have these, or
do Alchemy? I'd sure like to see another TR, a TR9? Only time will
tell. Hey, too bad I didn't invest in one of those hot technology
stocks a few years ago. *I* could buy Triumph!
Later,
Brian
