This book by Roger Williams follows his earlier work entitled “How to restore Triumph TR7 & 8”.  Both books are published by Veloce Publishing and for anyone who owns one of these Triumphs the pair are a “must have” for your library.  The “How to improve” volume is a logical follow up to the first volume given that these TR’s have been subject to more modification and change than any of the TR’s that preceded them.  The reasons for that being the case are fairly complicated and would probably be the subject of a separate magazine article but put simply it has much to do with the deteriorating state of the Leyland corporate body, the industrial unrest at the time and the market uncertainty in the main market area, namely, the United States.  This was a combination of circumstances that earlier TR’s didn’t have as an influence on their design, production and marketing and it shows in the different history of the early TR’s and the last TR’s.
