Maybe it's because I drove my TR6 to work today in the rain, but I am
reminded of a couple of unintentional innovations such as randomnly
intermittant wipers and self bleeding clutch slave cylinders.

And let's not forget the "Impacto-Scopic" steering column introduced on
the Herald and then incorporated into the TR4-6, Spitfire, GT6 and
Vitesse lines as well, said column allowing several inches worth of
adjustment in and out...AND, depending on where it was adjusted, some
measure of collapsibility on impact.

Triumph Herald engine with wings.
