Charles, Try Barnes and Noble and Amazon and regular booksellers. The ISBN
number for the TR4/4A workshop manual (2nd Edition) is:
ISBN 0948207 95 7.
The Bentley re-print is: ISBN 0-8376-0121-5.
If no luck there try either:
1) British Car Magazine's bookshop (800) 520-8292. Part Number 1108. $49.95
2) Rimmer Bros (www.rimmerbros.co.uk) -- they list the manual as part #
510322, price 27.44 british pounds - about $50.
If you find one get it right away. They are scarce and getting scarcer. It
is probably the best reference you can have.
As for the Haynes manual. It is titled "Triumph TR2,3,3A,4&4A." ISBN 900550
28 7. They have been out of print for a long time. BUT, If I remember
correctly they ran a short reprint a year or so ago. Search the web for
their site in the UK. It's there; I bought a manual from them about 4 years
ago. FWIW, I found a manual at a local auto parts store about 5 years ago.
There were actually two of them but I bought one and when I went back several
days later the other was gone. Hence my comment above -- "if you find one
snap it up."
I also suggest that you get a Factory Owner's Handbook for about $12. Brit
Car mag has them as does the "big three." I find I use that more than the
manual because it is in the glove box and has the routine stuff in it.
If you locate any of the workshop manuals, Bentley's reprint, or Haynes,
please ask how many they have and let us know on the list. Someone is always
looking for them.
