It's the Ford VS Chevy thing. MG owners are just jealous (or is it Triumph
owners are just jealous!!)
Seriously, seeing that they both have Lucas, and girling, etc., etc. They
are not that much different. Its like asking which is better, a sprite or a
midget? Depends on who you ask!
It's just good natured ribbing!!
They're both LBC's and I own both. Definitely pro and cons for both. I
love them both.
Should have been on the spitfire list a couple years back when I asked
they're opinion on this nice little sprite I found and thought about
buying........... :)
Probably the same response if I asked this group about a spitfire!
Get one of each!
But the Triumph Stag is a different story...... I will say the new owner is
lucky *NOT* to have the original engine in it. At least it is a little more
reliable now. :)

Well, in my ignorance I feel I have to ask a question or two here. I'm not
an LBC owner yet. I'm doing some reading/researching so that hopefully when
I have the extra cash to pick up a car, I don't do something completely
stupid.
Good natured Triumph bashing aside, are they really that bad? Personally
I've got my heart set on a (67+) Spridget, but from a purely aesthetics
point of view I think the TR4, TR6, Spitfire and GT6 are great looking cars.
Aside from matters of personal preference is there real reasons to stay away
from these cars? Are they just lemons?
