Yes they were, hence why the Spitfire was actually ancient before it was even launched. TR7 was revolutionary, but made with the same depth of engineering - that is not much! Really sad about Triumph cars. I think BMW owns the car name, whereas Triumph motorbikes, formally built in Meriden, outskirts of Coventry, are now built in Hinkley about 10 miles away by another company. I'm off on a factory tour of Triumph Motorcycles Friday - really looking forward to seeing a modern factory.
