Bill Piggott – författare

The Austin-Healey ("Big" Healey) is one of the iconic British sports cars: the first Austin-Healey 100 model was unveiled at the 1952 Earls Court Motor Show, and when the last car rolled off the production line in 1967, over 73,000 examples had been built. The four and six-cylinder Healey 100s and the later 3000 model were masculine ''hairy chested'' sports cars in the best tradition. This edition is designed to appeal to all fans of British sports cars as well as to Austin-Healey owners and enthusiasts. The book features the complete history of the car; period and modern colour photographs; and production figures and specifications.This is a reprint of Bill Piggott''s first Austin Healey book, although he has subsequently written two others, with a third being prepared.Five star amazon reviews -***** A Great Book about a Great CarBy Michael P. McsheehyFormat: Hardcover Verified PurchaseI really enjoy the Haynes Great Car Book series, and this book is no exception. Page after page is covered with beautiful, studio style color photographs (not retouched), accompanied by clear and concise text. The detailed exterior/interior photos make this book a valuable reference for both Austin Healey restorers and scale model builders. This book would make a great addition to any classic sports car enthusiast''s library.***** By Jack TurnerHad one, wish I had found the money to keep it. Bought a 1961 model in summer of 1966; had to sell it in 1973 and was dumbest decision ever made.

The Triumph TR range is amongst the most popular of classic British sports cars on both sides of the Atlantic. "TRIUMPH TR - TR2 to 6: The last of the traditional sports cars", as the title suggests, covers the cars from the basic four-cylinder TR2 introduced in 1953 to the hairy-chested six-cylinder TR6 that finally bowed out of production in 1975, to be replaced by the unloved TR7.The previous edition of this popular book was well received, and had the following five star review published on Amazon.com:"You can''t go wrong buying a book from this author. I admit, I am a junkie for little British car books and this guy is up there with the other experts like Terry Horler on MG Midgets and Clausager on MGB''s and Austin Healeys. Bill Piggott also has a book out on big Healeys ... A lot about Triumph TR and it''s racing heritage is covered in this book and more pages devoted to the early TR''s (2 and 3) than the six. Still, a very good read with lots of pictures ... from early dealer brochures to rally shots from across the pond. If you own a TR, you will want this book." (Written by Dennis Silance)
