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 book's 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.
The Austin-Healey ("Big" Healey) is one of the iconic British sports cars. The first Austin-Healey 100 model was unveiled at the 1952 Earls Court Motor Show, and when the last car rolled off the production line in 1967, over 73,000 examples had been built. The four and six-cylinder Healey 100s and the later 3000 model were masculine sports cars in the best tradition. This commemorative edition is designed to appeal to all fans of British sports cars as well as to Austin-Healey owners and enthusiasts. The book features the complete history of the car; period and modern colour photographs; and production figures and specifications.
