if a Triumph Spitfire or GT6 is for you. Learn how and where to buy one,
and whether to restore or to buy a good example. Benefit from the
author’s decades of working on and writing about Triumphs, with the real
facts you need to decide whether a sports Triumph is going to suit you.
The book covers all small sports Triumph models, explains how and where
to buy one, how to handle auctions and whether to buy the best you can
find, or to take on a restoration or a rolling restoration. Triumph
Spitfire and GT6 advises on choosing the right model for your needs and
your budget, and describes the flavour of the more sporty or more
cruising Spitfire types, contrasted with the more expensive and more
powerful GT6 coupés. The book explains in practical language how to
apply key checks to spot a bad car quickly, then gives you a
comprehensive inspection guide and an in-depth analysis of the various
models’ strengths and weaknesses. It provides inside technical
information to save you the painful process of learning about Triumph
foibles the hard way. It discusses upgrades using the author’s own
research, and includes comprehensive details of club backup and support
organisations, and model specs. Iain Ayre has been maintaining and
repairing Triumph cars since before he was allowed in pubs, and has been
writing about them for about 30 years. He continues to write for Triumph
World magazine as a regular contributor from North America. Spitfires
and GT6s are great fun but they have their faults: this book is your
portable expert friend A lifetime’s expert experience is condensed into
this book: don’t look at a Triumph without it A detailed look at both
the benefits and pitfalls of Spitfire or GT6 ownership
