Including the works standards. For more than half a century Triumph cars featured strongly in motorsport, and factory-supported entries successfully raced and rallied in events all around the world. Sadly this came to an end, however, when the British Leyland axe finally fell on Triumph Motorsport immediately after the 1980 Lombard RAC Rally. The story of the 'works' cars from beginning to end. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w and colour photos. 296 pages including index. ISBN: 0854299262. Minor pencil erasure mark to front endpaper. Contents clean. Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly browned to rear panel. Slight musty odour present.
