I used to have dimentia...er...a Triumph. Mine was a TR4A IRS. It was not
a bad car to drive, and I really wanted a TR7 when they came out.
Kids stopped me from continuing with LBCs of any sort. There were too many
to fit. I needed a back seat and the '64 VW Type 1 had it. The Type 1
(beetle) was a load of fun. With holes in the heater boxes, you go thru a
puddle and the car would fill up with steam. Try that in a Spridget.
No matter what, ANY LBC is better than none. Even a TR.
When I think back on what I paid for those early cars, I could cry! The
Alpine cost me $895 in 1967. The TR4 was $1900 in 1969. I just saw a '67
TR4A sold at auction for $33k.
