As a "real" Triumph owner (in your terms), I wish to make my desire to
distance myself as far as possible from your sort of inverted-snobbery
bullshit perfectly clear.
Frankly, I am very grateful that there are people out there with the
time and the resources required to recreate "showroom-new" classic
Triumphs, so that we and future generations can see how they are
supposed to appear. Yes, I'm quietly proud of the fact that my
Triumphs are cars that I drive daily, and not showpieces that need to be
trailered everywhere to avoid getting dusty, but there's room for all in
the hobby - or if there isn't, there should be.
