jojim65 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I understand there is a new TR6 book about to be published according to Amazon. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/178500137X?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE I know there is a very pretty Damson 6 featured, and maybe one or two from other Register members. Should be a very interesting read and one to leave on the coffee table. Jim _DSC9454.tiff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: just noticed the publication date of 25 April, that's my 35th wedding anniversary - do I dare buy the LHC a copy as an anniversary present?!

astontr6 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Hi All! It will be very interesting for me to see if it continues many of the TR6s myths that have sprung up over the last 40 years and whether it gives Leyland North America, later called JRT NA, any credit for the birth of this model?

Graham Robson Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Knowing the author (David Knowles) well, as I do, and by referring to his very detailed treatment of the TR7 in a previous book, I think this will be an excellent treatment. Hon. Pres. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jean Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Andrew, wrap the book in, together with a nice " flacon de Chanel " Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Smith Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Andrew, wrap the book in, together with a nice " flacon de Chanel " Jean, - but if I could bottle the 'new' smell of the interior, I'd make a fortune! Like Graham says, David Knowles is a first class author who researches his subject matter of interest in infinite detail, it will indeed be the 'Complete Story'.

saffrontr Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Bruce, You'll have to wait for the book to come out but yes it does give Leyland North America in particular Bruce McWilliams a lot of the credit for the development of a lot of the TR6 features. As Andrew notes it will indeed be the complete story. cheers Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jean Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Speaking about the complete story I wonder how much is said about TR6's assembled in Belgium....did the author find lost information.. I collect books about TR's since the 70th, beside some of the Roger Williams books about restoration I think I have most of them , some in German and French, not translations The pile is now about 6 feet in length, but my favourite TR6 book is still a book simply called "Triumph TR6" by William Kimberley published by Veloce in 95 There is little to say about the TR6 that is not mentioned in this book..
