5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, October 16, 2010
This review is from: Triumph by Name Triumph by Nature: The Sidescreen TR Compendium (Hardcover)
A magnificently detailed, passionate, and beautifully-produced book from Dalton Watson Fine Books.

Green cloth with gold details over hardback boards; 288 pp on heavy stock; with dustjacket. Over 400 w&w and (some) color illustrations. 4 Appendices. Bibliograpy.

The book "concentrates on what was arguably the most successful range of Triumph Sports Cars -- the TR2 and TR3 to TR3B models -- known widely as the sidescreen TRs."

"The author investigates the early development of the TR2 and conducts a long interview with Ken Richardson, a man closely involved in refining Triumph's crude prototype into a world-beating sports car." "The development of the TR2 into the highly successful TR3 and TR3A is covered, including chapters on production methods, sales and publicity material, accessories, conversion and tuning specialists, contemporary road tests, and much more...."
