We all know that we'd be talking about Morgans if Black had had his way! Anyhow, probably something to do with Morgan employing a 'father and son' workforce and Triumph and BL having a bunch of works

Those individuals, who were the British Auto Industry in the 1950's and 1960's, were, I believe, a darn clever lot. My admiration, for those technicians, directors, engineers, and managers, grows as

I have a question for the list. I have a TR250. From what I have learned, Triumph only made roughly 8600 of them in a one year period. In looking at the TR6, it looks like they only made 10-15K per y

The answer to your question explains a lot about Triumphs. First, you didn't see many changes from year to year. This saved enormously on retooling costs. It also explains why the were so often in f

Your last question provides much of the answer. There WERE many other cars being built alongside the "sports" cars, and those cars -- Standard Vanguards, Ensigns, 8s, 10s; Triumph Heralds, Vitesses,

Bryan, sounds like Morgan should have gone "belly-up" years ago. However you can get a new Morgan if you are willing to get on a two year factory waiting list. Cheers. Art Kelly
