Triumph TR: TR2 to 6: The last of the traditional sports cars (Haynes Great Cars) [Hardcover]

Bill Piggott (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 12, 2003 | Series: Haynes Great Cars

The Triumph TR range is among the most popular British sports cars of all, on both sides of the Atlantic. These traditional two-seater roadsters will really be in the limelight at the time of this books publication, as 2003 is the 50th anniversary of the breed and this landmark will be celebrated at various special events.

The cars covered in this book range from the basic four-cylinder TR2 introduced in 1953 to the hairy-chested six-cylinder TR6 that finally bowed out of production in 1975, to be replaced by the unloved TR7.

This review is from: Triumph TR: TR2 to 6: The last of the traditional sports cars (Haynes Great Cars) (Hardcover)

You can't go wrong buying a book from this author. I admit, I am a junkie for little british car books and this guy is up there with the other experts like Terry Horler on MG Midgets and Clausager on MGB's and Austin Healeys. Bill Piggott also has a book out on big Healeys, too.

A lot about Triumph TR and it's racing heritage is covered in this book and more pages devoted to the early TR's (2 and 3) than the six. Still, a very good read with lots of pictures... from early dealer brochures to rally shots from across the pond. If you own a TR, you will want this book.
