piman Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Hello 69Vitesse,"More Madonna than Sabrina."Going from the pictures of Sabrina, I don't think the engine was well named? Dors would have been more appropriate or does the engine pre date her?Alec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Triumph eh, what a company never frightened to look at new ideas and then leave the customer to do the testing!Probably a good thing that they never introduced the twin cam engine as it may have blighted the TR range?As for the shape, how about Anita Ekberg, phew! Blimey, Bob Dylan mentioned her in song, she must have been 'Of the moment'. The trouble with Dors and Mansfield was that they seem so suburban, wheras Monroe, Taylor, Gardner etc seem so exotic.

Richard B Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Looking at the duplex chain gear. Thats what they should have done to the Stag engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogie Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi Alec, regarding the angular shape - it is a bit abrupt but I'm sure it is practicle. More Lady Gaga than Maddona inmy mind.Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
