Crikey, I hadn't heard of that move - still thought they were in Leicestershire (only saw one of them docu tv series of which one episode was the production line at Triumph). I guess the design team are still there.
Lots of vehicles have little "foibles" such as that which you describe. It won't be done on purpose but is usually led by the design of a/the major part/unit. Still a pig though!
