The Triumph TR range is amongst the most popular of classic British sports cars on both sides of the Atlantic. “TRIUMPH TR – TR2 to 6: The last of the traditional sports cars”, as the title suggests, covers the cars 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.
The previous edition of this popular book was well received, and had the following five star review published on Amazon.com:
“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 … 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.” (Written by Dennis Silance)
