You won't get an argument from me. It is widely recognized that stupidity
killed the British auto industry. Triumph played catch-up for years before
it finally got them. Read any of the books and see what their product
planning and market analysis was like. Why was the TR3B produced? What was
the impetus for the design of the TR6 and why was it so much like the TR4A?

Someday we'll look back on all this and plow into a parked car.
