I think it makes sense. Triumphs were meant to be driven on a daily 
basis and not to just sit in the garage awaiting a club event. My TR3 is 
a daily driver though if it is raining I Take the 1960 Land Rover instead.

Why not leave the carpets off and install a rubber floor mat?

I don't know about the TR2 but the TR3 didn't have carpet on the floors. 
Under the seat was just painted metal and on the floor was a rubber mat. 
The only carpet was on the gearbox tunnel. Just do the floor the way the 
factory did for the TR3. Last time I looked The Roadster Factory had a 
good reproduction of the factory floor mats.
