As some of you may know, we have a magazine in the UK called 'Autocar and Motor.' It's been around for many years, much respected and its likely the latest edition hasn't yet hit the US newstands. W

Having worked for a German company (Siemens) and visited the fatherland, I have observed first hand the decision making process of a large German company. Let me put it this way - it has been said t

I agree with you Jonmac but if BMW wants to market a English saloon in the US what would they call it? The most successful saloon nameplate in the US that B/L owned was Jaguar. At least Triumph would

NO ARCHIVE Johnmac et al, I have thought about this possibility before. In my mind, this might work to improve Triumph's image elsewhere, but you are correct when you say that Triumph is known states

I kind of doubt that BMW would try to reintroduce a marquee that would be a potential competitor to their existing line. A Triumph med-performance sedan would cut into their existing low end models,

True, there could be enough momentum remaining for a revival of sorts, but I fear we'd find a familiar name stuck to yet another 'jellybean' shaped car. Triumphs have wonderfully distinctive styling

If the Triumph name is reintroduced it will be because BMW is building on the Triumph Motorcycle name recognition. The Triumph motorcycle people are building exciting machines these days! I was on a

Mere re-badging will not do a thing for the BMW image, or the Rover image, or the Triumph history. This issue comes up every few months, and there's never any substance to it. But, in essence, you're

Even when these were new, they were not cheap! I have the original bill of sale on my 1960 TR-3A. It came with OD, steel top, etc. and cost approximately $3,100. This was the amount I paid for the fi

According to erl@unix.mail.virginia.edu: I didn't mean to insinuate that they were dirt cheap. Only the $1296 VW was truly cheap. But a Porsche 911 cost $10,000 in 1970 and today they run more like $

Big question is, will a BMW-built TR, be a TR? Just the name doesn't make it a Triumph! At $30,000, it would be about comparable in price to the $3,100 on the 1960. Even the Buick Century, not the la

Actually, it rather does. After all, "Triumph" after World War II was little more than a nameplate bought by Sir John Black and the Standard Motor Company. Pretty much all the postwar Triumphs shared
