I agree with Randall, I think the four cylinder TRs are the toughest most reliable 50s-60s sports car there is. They just seem to go and go, many neglected or stored many years examples that still start and run. Maybe part of the difference between the TR and the MGs and Healeys is the Mechanical fuel pump, as many of those cars will still go to if you bring the pump back to life. But it just seems like the TRs were always very rugged and reliable.
The TR7 was more of an attempt by BL to make a real car for everyday use than a winsome quirky open air roadster, I do agree that the engine was more likely to melt down, but also they were a "real car" and as such went down the food chain of ownership and maintenance and then were scrapped. Man I remember when the TR7 was sold new and on into the mid eighties they were everywhere, but they disappeared pretty quickly after that.
