Triumph Motorcycles: Their Renaissance and the Hinckley Factory tells the remarkable story of the re-birth of one of the great names of British motorcycle history. Far from looking to the past, the new company has adopted the most modern production methods in modern premises and is producing motorbikes equal to any in the world. John Tipler was given unparalelled access to the factory enabling him to show the production methods and discuss the future with both management and workforce. First published in 1997, this sought-after title has now been fully updated with details of new models, and brings the story up-to-date after a disastrous fire gutted much of the operation. As you will read, the company has been undaunted and goes from strength to strength. |
John Tipler is a freelance motoring writer and historian and contributes to numerous motoring magazines. Triumph Motorcycles is his first 'two wheeled' title for Crowood although he has written several Crowood AutoClassic books including TVR and Lotus and Caterham Seven. |
