Paul & Bob
I also have recently acquired an early book on Triumph Sports cars, my
father owned a TR2 during the late fifties and early sixties, now some 32
years after having sold the car and giving away his manual, upon learning of
my current restoration project of a TR3A, a friend of my late father drops
by and returns his manual after some 32 odd years !
Along with the bound RED Service and Instruction Manual (Publication No.
502602) Which is chock full of terrific diagrams and photos. I also received
a small Booklet which is titled "TRIUMPH GUIDE" by Dave Allen & Dick Strome.
Published by the Crown Publishers (Sports Car Press) 1959,
Contents
1) The Gendarme Who Goofed
2) The Standards
3) The Triumphs
4) The Standard - Triumph Combined
5) Buttercup
6) The TR's and Competition Results
7) Tuning and Maintenance for Every day Competition
8) The TSOA
9) What Next ?
This book is also full of interesting quality photos and service
instruction, I would also be interested in learning of other such
publications which may exist, which I could be on-the-lookout for.
Bob, I would be interested in receiving your Biblio when compiled and
perhaps you could add this booklet to your effort.
best regards
