Review

"Forewarned is forearmed in any restoration project, so it's best to buy this book before you even think of rebuilding a TR, especially as the first chapters deal with buying a car and planning how you're going to undertake the job." – Classic Cars

"Those who already own a project will find inspiration in its pages, while prospective owners should read it from cover to cover befre getting out their cash – they are sure to enjoy the experience a lot more if they do." – Triumph World


"It will give years of useful service to the TR restorer." – Octane

"The book is well illustrated with numerous drawing and colour photographs, whilst the author's prose style is simple to understand, authoritative and informative as befits an engineer who has "been there, done that." – Club Torque
 

"All this knowledge allied to substantial photographic content allows Roger Williams  to provide truly detailed coverage of complete restoration and good advice on how to overcome common problems." – TR Action
