The name Triumph conjures up visions of characterful saloon cars and affordable sports cars - Herald, Vitesse, Spitfire, GT6, 2000/2500, Stag and, perhaps above al k theTR range. This authoritative book analyses the full span of post-war saloons, convertibles, sports cars and prototypes, from the eccentric 1946 roadster (boasting a dickey seat), to the sophisticated TR8 from the early 1980s. Also featured are Triumph spin-offs and derivatives such as the Peerless, and the competition successes including Le Mans and the Mille Miglia.
Triumph: Sport and Elegance combines a brief marque history with expert information on the different models - specifications, driving impressions and buying hints - together with glorious photography. It adds up to a feast of enjoyment for those who admire these well-made, and often rather sporty, machines and the owners who still cherish them.
Bill Piggott, author of both the Austin-Healey and Triumph TR titles in the Haynes Great Cars Series, has written more than a dozen books on classic cars. He was Registrar of the TR Register for more than 25 years and is currently the organisation's Archivist.
