My Triumph is a 1962. I still have the original engine in it. In fact, everything is still the way it came from the factory. The only thing I changed was the electric system. i switched it to negative ground and eliminated Mr. Lucas wherever possible.
I feel that the Austin Healy was the best looking roadster that was ever build in Great Britain.
The Mazda is nice, but so what? I have an Audit TT Quattro Roadster, but this still cannot give the British motoring feeling!
Both of my roasters stay at home. I take either my motor scooter or my Kia Sorento with me.
