Golly, your TR6 has roll up windows a softer suspension and all kinds of
luxury widgets that my daily driver does not have.

At 60 MPH in third under (Don't try this with a stock engine kids), my
TR3 is just itching to pounce.

The older roadsters are so much fun, even at much lower speeds. I'm
still wondering why people bother spending huge sums of money on the new
ones.
Triumph roadsters were built and sold to be daily drivers when they were
new. And they do just as good a job at it now as they did back then if
they are kept in good mechanical shape.

So why drive anything else???????????
