Summary: Tell it like it is...
Comment: A must buy if you are looking to purchase a post-war Triumph. The book really cuts to the chase and tells it up front. It is a good resource for distinguishing the differences in model years and what things to look for in each.
The book is a little hard to take as a Triumph enthusiast when he cuts up certain models. "The TR6... was old when it was new... the design was ancient, the car got lousy gas mileage... it was never bolted together properly" Hey!!! That's my baby.
Just don't let this book scare you away from owning a Triumph altogether. As the author states "All Triumphs are a good value". I personally would just say it with more enthusiasm
Rating: 4
Summary: Great Source of detail and General assessment of models
Comment: Great information for the enthusiast or shopper. The rating system for ability to match or beat the market trends is a good indicator of how much flexibility there may be in the price if you're shopping.

Summary: Author derides the TR7
Comment: Overall, a decent book, but the author seems to go out of his way to emphasize the TR7's troubles. Although it's true that the 7 will not likely be an collector, it is a great value in an open top car, and has always been underrated. That he derides the model is probably not such a bad thing, as this will help keep prices down for those of us "in the know". One aspect he neglects is the ease of converting the TR7 to a TR8 via an engine swap, making the car a poor man's cobra (ok, almost) for the masses. Forget matching-numbers purism in this car, it's for driving. Other than that, his advice on selecting a TR7 is fairly well founded.
