The Brits have long had a fascination with time travelers. Perhaps Triumph have prevailed upon The Doctor to use his TARDIS to encase the factory in a non-Euclidian spacetime bubble, so that it will be possible for lines that are parallel to also intersect.
Otherwise, it will be very, very difficult to make a parallel V anything.
Now that they are free of the restrictions of conventional geometry, we can expect to see superconducting wiring looms based on the Möbius loop, so that neither batteries nor earth connections will be required any longer. There will be Klein Bottle gas tanks with no filler cap and nearly unlimited fuel capacity, because the inside is simultaneously the outside and vice-versa.
And to protect all this wonderful technology from prying eyes, access to different levels of the factory will be via Escher Stairs that can only be navigated by the most adept Oompa-Loompas, personally trained by the Dalai Lama hinself. In fact, this is one logical explanation for why MCN have never yet produced a spy photo of such a fantastic mill after all these months of its assumed existence.
The other possible explanation is that Triumph, now having access to near-infinite amounts of time, have begun developing engines via a combination of the Schrödinger's Cat experiment and the Shakespearean Monkeys concept. They seal a collection of raw materials and random pieces of assembly line machinery into a box and send it far, far back into history, knowing that there's a tiny but non-zero chance that, eventually, a workable engine design will result. Unfortunately, you can never know the exact state of a Schrödinger wave function until you terminate the experiment. Will it coalesce into a marketable product at that instant, or a heap of scrap, or a 5 billion year old dead cat? Right now, we're all waiting for Triumph to open the box and see.
The downside to an engine designed by Schrödinger probabilities is that it can only be serviced by quantum mechanics.
Long live the Parallel V !
