A very good book, with lots of details I had not found elsewhere about the history and evolution of the Triumph Spitfire and GT6. Great details about the design, reasons for changes made and not made, and the effects of American Legislation forced on Britsh Leyland during the nineteen-seventies. There are plenty of pictures to please the eyes of any Triumph afficionado, but I wish there had been more in color. The details about custom updates and modifications were particularly interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Recommended!

If you have or are just interested in spitfire's or GT6's this is the book for you. It has things about these cars you can't find anywhere else. I love this book and I find my self reading it over and over time again. It also tells you about the great racing history of these cool little car and if your look to buy one it has a guide for what to look out for. I highly recommend this book to any spitfire or GT6 fan.

If you don't have any Spitfire books, this would be an OK first. But I've been a Spitfire fan for years, and there is little in this effort that is new or revealing. There is some technical information by model that could be useful in research. But the illustrations have all been published many times before (or maybe it's since?) Some of the B & W images seem copied from period magazines and have such low resolution, one wonders why they publishers bothered to print them at all. And the color plates (what few there are) seem harshly over saturated.

The writing style is tepid and the organization pedestrian, too

A big, "...ehh...," for this one.

Excelente book, has a lot of information that i haven't seen in and other book
