- It's still a Beemer no matter how they tag it. The Coopers are BMW's, the Triumph's will also be BMW's just as the MG will be a Chinese car. These are not and will never be anything like the original

- Just as post-war Triumphs were really Standards - i.e. cars designed and built by the Standard Motor Company. I take some pride in the fact that my own *Triumph* isn't a Triumph and never was. It's

- Indeed many rusted far worse than the average Triumph did, in the same conditions. BTW, for the most part it's not the salt water in the ocean that causes them to rust (well, with the notable except
