Synopsis

The Triumph TR range is among the most popular British sports cars of all, on both sides of the Atlantic. These traditional two-seater roadsters will really be in the limelight at the time of this books publication, as 2003 is the 50th anniversary of the breed and this landmark will be celebrated at various special events.

The cars covered in this book range 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.
