They were truly sporting cars, suitable for competition and enjoyable fast road motoring. The quintessential British Sports Car of the 1950s, more than 83,000 side-screen TRs were produced, which contributed greatly to British manufacturing prestige - and the postwar economy - with approximately 90% being exported, principally to the USA and Canada.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is written with the sole aim of giving prospective buyers key knowledge to choose the best example available according to budget. It covers models TR2, TR3, TR3A, and the rare TR3B, produced between 1953 and 1962. All aspects of the car are examined in detail and with many illustrations to back up the text. There is also advice on such matters as non-period modifications. Since the 1980s, the TR models have become finite in number, much cherished by owners, and increased in value, making it very important to know and understand the points to look for, as well as the potential pitfalls of choosing a rogue example.\u003cbr\u003eHaving bought an imported TR3a, restoring it and preparing it for racing, the author is also a TR2\/TR3 consultant for Club Triumph, and a regular contributor to its magazine, making him well-placed to guide you through finding and choosing the best model for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCar mad from the earliest age, Alastair Conners started a career in electrical engineering with a five year apprenticeship. However, wishing to follow other interests, he became a full-time student at the University of Aberdeen. Graduating with a MA(Hons) in History of Art followed by an MLitt in Architectural History: these degrees led to the position of Inspector of Historic Buildings at Historic Scotland.\u003cbr\u003eAlastair has completed a partial restoration and race preparation of his 1959 TR3A and enjoyed several years of racing, often against a variety of exotic machinery, which has cemented his admiration of the Triumph marque and the TR model in particular. \u003cbr\u003eIn recent years his concern has been to find a considered approach to conservation and restoration of cars using principles adopted in the fields of buildings and art conservation. He is the TR2\/3A Model Consultant for Club Triumph, and his everyday drivers are a 1978 Triumph Dolomite 1300 and a 1971 Triumph 2000 Saloon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 7.7 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 15, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45908910047429,"sku":"9781787112728","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/QRLFWDaFlT9781787112728.webp?v=1772025269","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/triumph-tr2-tr3-all-models-including-3a-3b-1953-to-1962-essential-buyers-guide-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
