Ah. That's a little awkward, since the adverts in the TSSC mag show
two books by Graham Robson, one entitled "Triumph Spitfire & GT6" and
captioned "The Complete Guide to Spitfire/GT6" and one entitled "Triumph
Spitfire and GT6" and captioned "Spitfire/GT6 Collector's Guide". The
former is in portrait format, the latter in landscape. Which is the
one to avoid?
