Let's see - in 1970 Triumphs and most British cars were only about ten
years out of date. Since they didn't change much in the next ten years,
we could say that in 1999 they are 39 years out of date. Therefore the
FOT crowd and TR fans in general won't have Y2K until 2039.
There's a good excuse for buying more parts.
