[edit] Triumph Scorpion
I think the "Triumph 12-6 Scorpion" should perhaps be "12/16" (ie the 1932 1203cc model)? Tartanperil 08:30, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- In "A-Z of Cars of the 1930s" it is definitely called a 12-6 Scorpion. I assume the 6 was for its 6 cylinder engine. The book's author, the late Michael Sedgwick, is not very polite about it describing it as "a runabout for madame". Malcolma 11:09, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] TR7 and 8 quality
I believe saying that the TR7 and TR8 killed the marque due to poor quality is simplistic. Both were utterly superior to my 1978 Spitfire 1500. BillK
