My experience has been that one does not have to cut up Triumphs. If
one stacks them in a corner they will turn into brown piles before long
with out any intervention! :)

P.S. I did use a Saws-All to reduce my last parts car to pieces small
enough to be accepted by the dump once I removed all the useable parts
(including the rear end which ended up being a Love Seat and displayed
in Breckenridge. It broke my heart to see a car with just over 5000
actual miles in such a pitiful state of rust!
