What this means is I didn't write a very clear sentence...I like to trim replies, but I've left a lot in this time, since my lack of clarity is at issue...in particular, my pronoun (it) didn't have the right object (TR7/8) and my sentence made it appear that the object/noun was the Spitfire. No Doubt the Spit is a real Triumph - there is a frame under there and it passes the "bang over a bump" test... >Through all the remembering of childhood going on here no one has >mentioned a key item that made the TR6 a success.

I think I've actually seen three of them in my life. Nope, just MGBs.
