Triumph TR6 - Triumph Reference Books

Hey fellow Triumph BBS contributors

As a freshman in the Triumph Enthusiast Hobby I have needed and received excellent advice from dozens of good folks out there and, I have spent a little time looking for and collecting reference material. Im thinking it would be good to have in our midst a BBS Thread that lists all the hard copy book material out there for Triumph cars as recommended by you. This would have helped me learn more quickly. I think the thread could help other newbies in future and, itll be a good source for those of us who want to add neat books to our library for those long winter days & nights when we dream about getting our cars out on the road again. Okay you guys in BC, I know, you can drive 12 months of the year!

BTW, I buy my books from www.abebooks.com or eBay and I appreciate one can Google almost anything but having the title and author can help.

Here are three Ive found helpful:

Triumph Sports Cars (Enthusiast Color Series) by William Krause
The Essential Buyers Guide Triumph TR6 by Roger Williams
Ragtop the Toronto Triumph Clubs award winning magazine
Ken Shaddock

Triumph World (UK Magazine) available every two months form Chapters etc at around $13.00 Cdn. Good reviews and articles with a sense of humour, and we all have that right!

Dan Masters

Dan, I was going to add my list, but you scooped me! I would add that the most valuable reference (aside from Dan's Electrical Handbook, of course) I've found as I've chased this restoration adventure are the 2 vol set of parts catalogs from TRF. VOL 1 is available, now for a price of about $9.00, I think. Used to be free. VOL II has been out of print and although John has promised that it's in the works, I don't expect to ever see another hard copy. If I recall correctly, we put a digital copy on CDII. Anyone who does not have it, I'll be happy to forward a PDF file.
