"... But, for a mans sports car the TR range is very hard to beat."
They were indeed, in the UK and on the Continent, but in the great spaces of the New World they were 'toy' cars. Detroit has built lots of crap but it has never built 'toys', IMHO.

Rumor has it that some TR-3/4 engine parts came in boxes marked " For Triumph cars or Ferguson tractors". Those who have heard a TR-3/4 without muffler might not doubt it.
Size of the crankshaft surprised friends used to working on American V-8s.
I would have bet on a TR-3 managing to cross the United States without much mechanical trouble. Electrical, odd bits and pieces falling off and driver/passenger kidneys might be another story
