it's a bit like saying today's Triumph Motorcycles are not real Triumphs because they are built in a factory in Hinckley (which is reputedly the best in the world) rather than built in Meriden (which by the time the Unions finished with it was the worst in the world).
Oi! I have a 1979 Meriden-built T140D; by then, the factory had got them right, and the late Meriden Bonnies were the best they made. It sounds good, vibrates, oozes character; it's a Spitfire compared to the modern Triumph's PA28!
