Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
The Spitfire was one of Triumph's most successful models throughout the 1960s and 70s, and its high-performance sister car, the GT6, was received with equal acclaim. Both cars remain as popular yesterday as when there were in production, their lasting sucess ensured not only by their attractive styling and performance, but also by their straightforward construction and the ease with which they can be maintained. John Thomason's meticulously researched book charts their development, covering for each the many changes to the body and chassis, engine and engine bay, interior and transmission and suspension. Thoroughly cross-referenced, this is an easy-to-use and quick reference guide, invaluable to owners wishing to maintain or restore their cars to be as near factory specification as possible.




Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great Originality Guide
The Author really did a great job showing the differences between all the years and models of these great little cars. Wonderful B/W photos of lots of details will help amature and professional restorers alike. However the book does not cover Left hand drive US spec versions, but this does not make too much of a difference. A must for the Spitfire/ GT6 owner's book shelf.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - A must for GT-6 owners
As an owner of a GT-6, any reference book is helpful. This one is very complete except for the lack of more colour pictures. I think one of the interesting things about these cars is there isn't a single source for answers. You have to search for "nuggets" of information. This book is a real "find" for anyone needing information on the Spitfire and GT-6 models. Enjoy.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Good book, very informative, more charts would be nice
I found this book to be, over all, very informative. Lots of detailed photos (though almost all are monochrome, other than a few in the middle of the book). One should keep in mind, though, that the cars pictured are UK-spec only, there are NO US-spec cars pictured, so it is really only of interest for exterior/some interior originality here in the US. It would be nice if more charts were included, such as interior/exterior colour schemes, etc. Overall, though, for any Spitfire owner, this is a must have!
