I was going to put an electric pump in the TR3, but the MG's electric pump
convinced me that it would be folly to replace a perfectly good mechanical pump
that almost always pumps some gas even in its failure mode.

Right you are. I have both a Triumph and an MG but I have yet to save up the
money for that XK120C that I dream of. I would even settle for an XK140
drophead, but they are a bit out of my range as well. Since I don't think the
newer Jags are worth the effort to own, I guess I'll just have to hang in the
with my Triumph/MG schism untill such time as I come into the money to afford
one of the good Jags.
