Description: Experience the entire history of Triumph sports cars in this comprehensive volume featuring stunning studio photography rare archival images and period advertising. Triumph Cars chronicles the company and its remarkable vehicles from the first 10/20 through a string of automobiles sought after by collectors from the early Supers and Glorias through the entire TR and Spitfire ranges and on to the legendary GT 6 and the latter - day 1300, 1500, and Dolomite sedans filled with images history and in - depth analyses of players tech and styling. With roots extending to a London bicycle importer established in 1885, Triumph built its first car in 1923: the Triumph 10/20. By 1930, the Triumph Cycle Co. had become Triumph Motor Company and was on its way to establishing seven decades of automotive heritage. Author Ross Alkureishi showcases how company visionaries developed the brand and how the brand changed hands in the trying economic times of the 1930s and during the war years. The Standard years beginning in 1944 are also examined along with associations with Jaguar and the range of roadsters and saloons developed arguably peaking with the introduction of the TR 2 sports car in 1953. Alkureishi proceeds through the stylish 1950s cars and on to the Leyland years beginning in 1960, and associated engine and styling developments. The story ends with the last Triumph model the Acclaim introduced in 1981, and the marque's subsequent mothballing. Along the way Alkureishi also highlights Triumph motorsport exploits particularly in the realm of rally cars. From the 1923 steel - paneled 10/20 through a range of roadsters saloons and sports cars Triumph Cars offers a definitive review of an iconic British marque. The book is illustrated with hundreds of historic contemporary and racing photographs as well as detailed text. This is the one volume no sports car enthusiast can be without.
