Jonmac-
Hear, hear!
I, too, bought my Triumph for the same reason, and I accept all it's
shortcomings. I also have a new Jaguar, so when I want speed and air
conditioned
comfort, I drive that. Sure, I have newer radial tyres, and a CD player on the
TR,
but that's about it. I bought it because it's "quaint", and to me, that's what
old British cars are all about. And did I mention "fun"?
