Just a Swag, but perhaps the same reason the Model T is losing popularity  
and price.  The old wind in the hair, rain in the eyes, press on regardless  
guys are getting older and dying off.  The younger guys, and some of us  older 
guys are too soft for side screen cars.
 
Of course, I want one purely from the styling standpoint...the TR3 is one  of 
the prettyest cars I've ever owned.  Wish I'd never sold it.

63 TR4

As he stared at her ample  bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg
carburetors in his vintage  Triumph, highly functional yet pleasingly formed, 
perched prominently on top of  the intake manifold, aching for experienced 
hands, the small knurled caps of the  oil dampeners begging to be inspected and 
adjusted as
described in chapter  seven of the shop manual.
