And let's not forget the "Impacto-Scopic" steering column introduced on 
the Herald and then incorporated into the TR4-6, Spitfire, GT6 and 
Vitesse lines as well, said column allowing several inches worth of 
adjustment in and out...AND, depending on where it was adjusted, some 
measure of collapsibility on impact.

*Man: Well, no ... It's not so  much of a jet, it's more your, er, 
Triumph Herald engine with  wings.
