The Triumph TRs, A Collector's Guide.by Graham Robson. 1977. Signed by Graham RobsonNever 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.Book is 9.5 x 7.5 inches in size, 128 pages and in good condition, some ware to cover.
