The four-cylinder Austin-Healey 100 sports car had already made
a big name for itself by the time the 2.6-litre six-cylinder 100/6
arrived in 1956. This came as a 2+2 seater, joined in 1958 by a
two-seat version, and both were replaced by the more powerful 3000
model in 1959, again offered as a two-seater or 2+2, and available
with disc brakes. The Mk II 3000, launched in 1961, could be had
either as the limited-production 132bhp two-seater with triple
carburettors and side screens, or as the less spartan 2+2
convertible with wind-up windows, and the final version was the
2+2-only1964 Mk III, now with 150bhp, a wooden dash and better
appointments. All these "Big Healeys" are as much admired today as
when they were new, and here marque expert Bill Piggott gives full
details of correct specification and equipment for all these cars,
backed up by in-depth colour photography of outstanding examples of
all models and variants. Body panels, external trim and badging,
paint colours, interior trim, dashboard, instruments and controls,
under-bonnet components, engine and transmission, lamps, and other
features right down to the tool kit, are all covered.
For years, Bill Piggott's books Original Triumph TR2/3/3A and
Original Triumph TR4/4A/5/6 have been the ultimate source of
information for all things TR. Here they are combined in one volume
incorporating revisions and amendments throughout. The book
provides a comprehensive guide to original factory specifications,
equipment, colour schemes and options for all models from TR2 to
TR6, also revealing how the various models changed through the
course of production. It shows exactly how a car would have looked
on the day it left the factory, so that owners, restorers,
potential buyers and enthusiasts can identify true original
condition and specification. In addition to the standard TRs, the
TR2 Francorchamps Coupe and Italia, and the hatchback GTR4 Dove,
are featured. Combining a unique and unrivalled mass of information
from the world's leading TR authority with a gallery of over 450
colour photographs showing outstanding examples of the cars in
detail, this book is indispensible for TR fans.
The Triumph TR sports cars were best-sellers in North America. They
were simple, inexpensive, fast and fun to drive, if sometimes
wayward on the limit. Here the 1950s first-generation models - TR2,
3 and 3A - are described in depth, including development,
production, specification changes, competition history and the
practical aspects of owning one today.
