This book which covers all Triumph TR5/250 and TR6 models, explains the
characteristics of the various TR sportscars, what to look out for when

substantial experience and that of other amateur restorers, the author had the
help of various TR specialists and professional restorers. All this knowledge,
allied to substantial photographic coverage, allows Roger Williams to provide
truly detailed coverage of complete restoration and good advice on how to
overcome common problems.
