That might be true overall, but it seems to me that the number of
sidescreen cars in regular use is diminishing.  Too many of them being
restored to show condition, and then not being driven.  10-15 years ago
it was not too uncommon to see one on the street.  Now, outside of
events and club meetings, I don't think I've seen another one on the
street for several years !

I do still occasionally see TR6 and Wedges though, so perhaps they are
doing better.

As a side note, I now get far fewer people asking "Is that an MG ?", and
more simply asking "What is that ?"  Even MGs are getting so scarce that
people don't know what they are !  And, I'm running into more and more
people at the auto parts counter that don't know Triumph ever made cars.
