Triumph TR2, 3 & 3A in Detail
This book focuses on the TR2 and the "sidescreen" TRs, namely the TR3 and TR3A, which share the same robust Standard Vanguard engine. The author begins with the history behind the creation of the TR2, starting with the unsatisfactory TS20 model shown at the 1952 London motor show.
A detailed technical analysis follows, covering the TR2's chassis, engine, running gear, and transmission. This provides the foundation for the sections on the TR3 and TR3A, each of which is thoroughly explored.
The book also highlights the TRs' success in motorsport, including events like Le Mans and international rallies. Comparisons are made with rival models such as the Austin-Healey 100 and MGA. Additionally, the book offers practical advice on owning and maintaining these cars today.
Around 250 illustrations, including specially commissioned photographs of notable models, as well as images from archives, sales brochures, and publicity materials, are featured throughout the book.
