Looks like we must be having a hard winter if we are already into the annual “Old British Sports Cars” discussion...
A friend and I co-owned a Triumph TR4-IRS when we were juniors in high school in the mid 60’s. It had webbing straps under the half shafts on the IRS half axles to keep you from folding them under the chassis in a hard corner. I think before they redesigned the car and called it a Spitfire they improved the rear suspension. Now if they had just been able to do something about the Lucas ignition. If the neighbor’s dog took a leak in the front yard it was too humid for the Triumph to start. Every British Leyland or Triumph owner knows why the British drink warm beer… Lucas Refrigerators!

My best buddy in high school had one of those, bright yellow. We tried hard to roll it with high-speed cornering, but never succeeded. Cheers, Randy
