[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

The BL product I always lusted after was the Triumph TR6.

I prefer the look of the TR5 Pi myself

Rare as rocking horse droppings, and, if you can find one, cost in the £20,000- £40,000 price range.

Dbug has one i think 

His is a TR4A

Nice, but two cylinders short.

[albitz]

A 1967 MGBGT. Rotten as a pear. Sold it for £70. He wuz robbed.

Mines a TR4A - had quite a few TRs over the years as I've always had a thing for them.  Never got round to getting a TR5 PI, but did run a '69 TR6 PI for a few years.

                                     

 

[YZ250]

......how many British Leyland cars will you admit to owning?

Never heard of them, I must be too young.   

I've had a few old Mini's and a SD1 Vitesse, does that count.

Triumph Acclaim (Honda engined) - not bad for what it was
Metro - ditto, had a certain thrashability about it
Rover 216 (Honda engined) - a blast, bloody quick, and handled like a dream
Rover 25 - lovely car, one of the best handling FWD cars I've ever driven (on Pirelli tyres, shite on GYs)

Works vehicles include:
Ital - shite. In fact words cannot emphasise how bad it was
Maestros (several) - OKish, all trashed to within an inch of their lives
Sherpa. 'nuf said.

And all the time that people were slagging off these cars, not realising that the same blokes were building Rolls Royce body shells.
