Jeff says;
Here's the way I feel about it. The true Triumph marque died out many years
ago. Just seeing the name on a new car wouldn't ignite the same passion in
me. Or if it did, the $30,000 + price tag would quickly douse the flame.
The whole appeal of these cars -- at least from my standpoint -- is that
they reflect the era from which they were built. The history, the ease of
working under the bonnet, the unrefined ride where you feel every bump in
the road, the fear of having something blow up or fall off during high revs
and sharp turns -- all these elements (and more) would be lost on a newly
manufactured car.
