I'd agree with Dennis' take on Triumph motorcycles, with the caveat
that I don't think we should add any trophy categories for them
in concours, rally or autocross.

For what its worth, Triumph started out manufacturing the
motorcycles, then got into cars later.  In order to avoid
bancruptcy, the sold off the motorcycle business in the '30s
I believe.  That still wasn't enough, and they were bought by
Standard a bit later on, etc. etc.
