2.0 out of 5 stars
A sad day for Triumph Stag restorers and enthusiasts,
By A Customer
This review is from: Original Triumph Stag (Hardcover)
The book has some excellent color photography but is let down by lack of detail in the text and photo captions. Some of the cars used for photographic reference, especially in the Federal section, are not totally original. The worst part is the captions and text do not point this out. The most glaring errors are the under hood shots of the Federal cars. Examples are: Page 80, one has a rotary air conditioning compressor, the original is a York twin cylinder; incorrect ignition leads, no fan cowling, plastic cooling fan (should be metal), there were other shots that did not show original components. The ironic part is the paragraph in the front cover inset, it states "Several cars, such as a remarkable Mk 1 photographed in the United States, have been preserved throughout their lives by just one careful owner, making them exceptional survivors in unrestored and correct condition". This statement is far from the truth. Mr Taylor's other Stag books were very good, this was very dissapointing. This is especially so when people purchase this book as a reference document.
