Too bad a tall guy can't drive the new MX-5 Miata safely! Nowhere near enough room for a 6' 6" driver. Nice to know they're up to modern standards of corrosion prevention, but Triumph had better ideas for space sixty years ago.

Saw one of these new ones here two weeks ago, very nice car, but at that price! I still prefer my 57 year old TR3A and that still appreciates not like the Miata.

BTW.

We don´t need underseal out here!

That'll be why they rust fairly badly then....... Apart from the plastic splash shields and (probably) improved paint technology they don't look any better protected than our old Triumphs were.

 

Those guys need to be spray the Dinitrol inside the box sections to make a significant difference.

They dont seem to have covered the brakes or exhaust either. That stuff gets everywhere.
