Triumph Spitfires are actually a pretty good little car.... As is the Herald they are based on.

That Bobber thing is another marketing department POS IMO. As my old man would say "wouldn't have one for a wart on me cock"
As far as the Cherman bubble car goes...now that's cool if nothing else and beats a Triumph Spatfur any day
The pictures are very appealing. Then there's this unsolicited recommendation from a happy customer?

Somebody should tell Triumph that "factory custom" is an oxymoron. Excusable for the likes of Kawasaki, but for Triumph who are supposed to be familiar with the language?
There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
Yeah - those early fibreglass bodies were 100% maintenance free... cough.... Delamination anyone?? The chassis had a few rot issues though...
As for the Daimler, it has a great motorcycle connection in that Edward Turner designed the engine which is effectively 4 Triumph 650's in a V.... Brings us back in a neat circle to where we started eh??
A mate of mine had a Daimler Double-Six. You could sit on 100mph, with the air con on and watch the speedo go from full to empty in a matter of minutes.
We dumped the engine for a Chev 350. Took about 8 weekends to fit. Would have been half the time, without the learning experiences.
BUT wow - what a difference in all respects.
UK engineering, of the seventies, is best avoided, like the plague
BUT I suspect this new Bobber from Triumph is going to do very well indeed
