Funny you should mention that, Brian.
A little side note:
Back in 1991, when the first modern Triumphs rolled out of then new Hinckley facility, the only worker who had any affilliation at all with the old Triumphs manufactured at the then razed older Triumph factories, was the gentleman who applied the pin-stripping to the new machines. I wish I could remember his name.
The new Triumph Company proudly acknowleged this little bit of information during their initial debut as some sort of proof as to their continuity of heritage and commitment to the english worker.
