Son is up from Florida for a few days and drove the TR6 on some New England back and main roads. Here is his evaluation - 1971 Triumph vs. 1992 Alfa Spider:
Ride - Alfa. Handling - Alfa. Gearbox - TR6. Engine sound - TR6. Seats - Alfa. Driving position - Alfa. Steering - Alfa?? Brakes - Alfa. Performance - TR6.
Not surprising considering the Alfa is 21 years newer. I questioned his steering evaluation but then again, I've never driven the Alfa. I always considered the TR6 steering to be very good, especially when compared to the awful, sloppy steering of the TR3 or the kickback of the MG TD.
