Rick, I know this is exactly the WRONG forum to state this
but I grew up a Triumph fan/owner and only recently learned
to like the MGs. No, I don't care for the later TRs. The TR6,
albeit a classic and a car I once owned, is not that interesting to
me. I do like the TR250 though and would enjoy owning another.
You know, the thing, as a younger man, that I didn't like about
the MGB was the quilted pillow dash. I liked the Triumph's
wood. Then I saw a proper MGB dash in the black crinkle
finish. THAT is way cool.
These are just honest opinions and Tuesday morning thoughts
guys. Don't shoot me yet.
