Just received my TRA National News, issue 104, which includes the 1954 McCahill review.
Excerpt:
<span style="font-style: italic">"The Triumph can kill the MG in performance in every department including comfort and luggage space, and both have almost similar price tags.
The Triumph's looks, however, are subject to challenge. To me, the front end resembles a cardboard box that someone has shoved his foot through.
....
The instrument panel is neat, adequate and easy to read as a Marilyn Monroe calendar and almost as informative.
....
There is enough room behind the seat to carry a limp, flexible drunk and this barge has a real trunk big enough for two five-rib roasts of beef or 10,391 Philco refrigerator ice cubes."</span>
I don't think cars today are described with quite the same metaphors!
