Then there is the question: if we recreate a Triumph, which model do we
copy?
It can be argued that any car they develop will more closely resemble the
TR7/8 model in design and manufacture than any other. But that car was so
ahead
of its time it still looks almost current. So, do we copy the original?
TR2/3 styling? How do you do that justice and still meet crash safety
standards?
Do you take a Z3 and give it a paint job that simulates the cut down door
look? (Gag). Or do you do the Michelotti stylings of the TR4 the
injustice?
Or the hairy chested TR6? (since this one was partly styled by Karman it
just
might get the nod) Or maybe the nimble Spitfire?
interesting questions
Hare's another one: If BMW decides to build a Triumph at their South
Carolina plant, is it a British car?
