Triumph TR's: A Collector's Guide by Graham Robson
Revised and updated second edition.
Never before has the famous British Triumph TR range of sports cars been the subject of such detailed analysis. Graham Robson, already a noted Triumph historian, describes the conception of the TR as a rugged, no-nonsense sports car and traces its successful life, model by model, from the prototype TR1 which appeared at Earls Court in 1952 but never went into production to the latest wedge shaped TR7s which are spearheading Leyland's competitions programme a quarter of a century later and setting new sales records in the TR series.The Triumph TR owner and collector will be led meticulously through all the subtle design changes in the various models as Robson discusses the classic TR2, TR3, TR3A, and TR3B, of 1953 to 1962; The transition model TR4 and TR4A cars which were made from 1961 to 1967; the Six-cylinder TR5, TR250 and TR6 from 1967 to 1976; and the new breed of TR7s, of which more exciting variants are planned.There are also chapters on the prototypes and specials - the TRs that might have been - as well as invaluable information on buying and restoring a TR, spares availability and factory and other facilities.Comprehensive appendices cover all production and sales statistics, specification changes, chassis number series and other vital information for the collector.
Another brilliant book in the MRP Collectors Guide series, written by Graham Robson and as usual from this author it is well researched and illustrated with many period photographs, every model from TR1 prototype to the TR7 is covered also brief descriptions of specials and one offs. A fair amount of information on mechanical specs and competition history rounds off a worthy edition to any motor enthusiasts bookshelf.
This book covers detailed model-by-model descriptions, competition achievements, technical and restoration information and invaluable reference data in comprehensive appendices and is lavishly illustrated throughout.
