Description
Triumph Cars 100 Years is a comprehensive volume that chronicles the history of Triumph sports cars, from the first 10/20 in 1923 to the legendary GT6 and the latter-day 1300, 1500, and Dolomite sedans. The book features stunning studio photography, rare archival images, and period advertising, providing a detailed look at the company's development and its remarkable vehicles.
Author Ross Alkureishi explores the company's visionaries, their innovations, and the challenges they faced, including the economic downturns of the 1930s and the war years. The book also examines Triumph's associations with Jaguar and its range of roadsters and saloons, including the iconic TR2 sports car introduced in 1953.
From the early Supers and Glorias to the Leyland years and the eventual mothballing of the marque, Triumph Cars offers a detailed review of an iconic British marque, including its motorsport exploits and a range of roadsters, saloons, and sports cars.
