I agree whole heartedly! Triumphs were made to be driven and perfect
hanger queens trailered to shows are a waste of a good TR. Mine was
refurbished and repainted original colour 32 years ago. Could use new
paint & some interior freshening up, but I keep her as clean as
practical for a daily driver and get high smiles per mile out of her.
