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!!!!!
