Michael Cook manages to capture the spirit of the glory days of imported cars and the tragedy of labor and management that doomed the once proud and independent British automobile industry.

Cook's stories are entertaining and objective given the memior-like quality of the work. The book covers all major US triumph products from just before WWII and ends with a telling look at the evolution of the untraditional TR7's and TR8's.

Mike Cook is the expert on Triumphs, espcially in the United States. As interest in vintage British cars renews, this is the handbook to car with you as you shop for the perfect Triumph. It's just too bad Triumph is out of business.

I ordered this book because I have a friend who is mentioned several times in the book. Also there are photos of him taken many years before I met him. I was intrigued by the stories and I was also pleased with the condition of the book and the promptness of the service.
