Description: This must be the definitive book on the Triumph marque, written by two acknowledged experts in the field. In its 17 chapters, this book tells the story of the cars and their engineering, and also the distinguished and often controversial people behind the company. It examines the origins of the Triumph Cycle Company before telling of its entry into the motor car field in 1923. The downturn in the company`s fortunes leading to a takeover by Standard`s Sir John Black is covered as well as the subsequent takeover by Leyland Motors and Triumph`s absorption into the ill-fated British Leyland group. Finally, it tells of the long slow decline to the end of the marque in 1984. It is an essential book for any Triumph enthusiast or British motor industry history buff.
