Scott, I recently posted a message lamenting that Spitfires
and GT6's get no respect, even from other Triumph owners. I
got severely nuked by a bunch of TR6 owners who insisted it
ain't so. If it ain't, how come the resale value of my GT6
is about 1/2 that of a TR6 in similar condition? The good
news is that we can afford to buy twice as many cars as
they can, right?
