Hey, Mike, way to go!  We had a TR-8 until last Nov., and as long as it was
running alright for the time being (rare occasion), figured that would be a
good time to get rid of it.  It took some doing, but we found a dealer who
would take a trade.  We've never had a moment's regret.  Looks like in a few
years, the only Triumphs around will be in museums.
 
RE: The tonneau.  I dunno, myself, but the Miata top is so easy to put up
and down, that I've never wanted to bother with a tonneau.  They do look
snarky, though, I'll admit.  If the Miata had a typical British top, then I
could see a tonneau - the damn tops are so difficult to work on a British
car, that a tonneau for most driving makes sense.  ANYTHING to keep from
having to put the top up and down.  Check out the Miata Club of America and
their Miata Magazine.  It's a quarterly slick publication with about every
conceiveable gadget you could want for a Miata, including camping trailers.
I've only received one issue so far, and don't recall about tonneaus, but
I'm sure if they're not specifically in there, a call to any one of a number
of advertisers who supply similar things will get you a tonneau.  Good luck.
