Sorry, Darrell - I have to disagree. While MG may be known stateside for the T
series, A, B, and Midget - you have to remember that MG also made a wide range
of saloons as well, both pre and post war that were just as important to the
company and its customers as the two seaters. You may not have seen the
non-two seater models in the US as much as we did in Europe, but they're still
MG's in every sense of the word and deserve absolute and equal recognition :)

It came down to a difference in personality:
Triumph were raucous, snarly
little things, all torque and attitude, while
MGs were more refined, often
slower, but usually better built
Hey Joe,
I
know as an owner of multiple Triumphs that for much of the glory days of
the
competition between the two marques, one had a lot of choices of
different
models with Triumphs. Triumphs evolved over the years that they were
produced. Three distinct changes in the legendary Hairy Chested TR series,
several changes in the Spitfire series and then modern Shape of Things to
Come the last of the TR series. Not to mention Stags, Heralds, etc. "Variety
is the spice of life." With MG it basically came down to two types. You
had chrome bumper and rubber bumper in midget or regular size. Ha! No
comparison!!!!!
