About the Author

Aircraft was Roger Williams' first love, and he joined the de Havilland Aircraft Company where he quickly added motorcars to his list of prime interests. During the ensuing six years he not only completed his apprenticeship and studies, but also built two Ford-based specials. and in 1986 he started his own consultancy business, which allowed him to restore numerous MGBs, a Triumph TR6 and a Triumph Stag, and to write several MGB and Triumph TR books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome Update for TR7/8 Owners, January 6, 2005
This review is from: How to Restore Triumph TR7 & 8 (Enthusiast's Restoration Manual) (Paperback)
The "wedge" has always been the ugly stepchild of the British Sportcar family -- hence the few available books. Williams' book takes the point of view of restoring and keeping these cars on the road. It's not for the owner seeking concours information but the average owner will find all the right sections on uprating brakes, suspension, engine rebuilds, body shell repair and tuning. Particularly welcome are the chapters on Fuel Injection and the famous popup headlights -- common problem areas with heretofore few repair guides.

Every TR7/8 owner should have this book alongside the standard manuals. Resources recommended by Williams tend to be British and so North American owners will have to rely on the web to find suppliers.

Overall first class and highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, August 14, 2006
This review is from: How to Restore Triumph TR7 & 8 (Enthusiast's Restoration Manual) (Paperback)
This is a great book! It even has a section on hood replacement! Great photographs! Wish I had it when I started my rebuild. Combined with the Haynes book, they cover everything you want to know.

If this book had a complete wiring diagram, it would be perfect!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for anyone restoring a TR7/8, October 20, 2009

This review is from: How to Restore Triumph TR7 & 8 (Enthusiast's Restoration Manual) (Paperback)
If you are crazy enough to be restoring a Triumph TR7 or TR8, you need this book.

The information is very well presented. The photographs are excellent and, for the most part, illustrate how things go together. I found the section on restoring the chassis particularly informative and was amazed how much chassis corrosion someone will try and fix on a TR7 in the UK.

My only criticism is that since it was written in the UK, the recommended products and tools for some of the jobs are not generally available in the US.

First Sentence:
In all probability you have already decided which TR is your heart's desire; a decision probably made quite subconsciously on the basis of a very brief glimpse of some lucky so-and-so flashing past you, the long, blonde hair of a drop-dead-gorgeous girl blowing in the wind, or some other, equally illogical reason. Read the first page
