>I also think the British Motor Heritage Museum at Gaydon in Warwickshire
is well worth a visit. They
>have on display a reasonable number of Triumphs, including the last
Spitfire and Dolomite Sprint (the
>Museum of British Road Transport in Coventry coincidentally has the first
Dolomite Sprint!).

>There is also the last Stag and the last Triumph 2000 Estate and many
other lasts of the line together with a few firsts and many other cars
which are the only survivors. The 1910 Austin 7hp, a Leyland 7.6 litre
Striaght Eight, a 1908 Austin Grand Prix car, in-line six cylinder, 9.6
litres and drum brakes only on the back end. Finally, don't forget all the
Standards. If it hadn't been for Standard, Triumph would have never seen
the postwar years.
