Could BMW remake the Triumph?

BMW is working on a two-seater based off of the MINI platform that will form the basis of a Triumph concept car later this year and may eventually see production. This seemingly incredible news comes from this morning’s edition of autoindustry.co.uk and is based on information from Autocar’s January 3rd issue. For those that might not be aware, along with BMW’s purchase of Rover back in the mid-90s came a handful of old British brands such as Triumph. At the time it had been rumored that the MINI would be the first of several brands coming back to life. |
I would love to see what spin they would put on a modern triumph.
Though, I still think its weird that a rover, triumph, or mini is actually a german car now.

I owned both a TR3B and A TR4. Loved them both, but I turned turtle driving the TR3. Totalled it and almost bought the farm myself. Didn't cure me. Soon as I could I bought the TR4 and now I've been driving (mostly fixing) teeners for the last 15 years. Any idea what the new Triumph might look like? Updated replica of any of the older models?

It took some creative thinking, but the Germans are finally starting to take-over Britain
They still ain't the REAL thing.
I drive my Tr6 everyday in the winter, and I like it. Can't imagine what a new Triumph would be like, but it could be cool maybe we'll see.
that would rick... a buddy of mine has a tr-6... cool car
