There are very few books about the Hinckley-built Triumphs, and none will tell you what to look for when buying one secondhand. That's what this book is about - it is a straightforward, practical guide to buying a used modern Triumph. It doesn't list all the correct colour combinations for each year, or analyse the bike's design philosophy, or consider its background as part of a reborn industry, but it will help you avoid buying a dud. Point by point, it takes the reader through everything that needs looking at when buying a Hinckley Triumph, plus spares prices, which is the best model to buy for your needs, and a look at auctions, restorations and paperwork.

The whole book has a sloppy 'cut and paste' feel about it.
I bought it for the carburettor Tiger information, but Henshaw loses credibility by page 15 getting such basic, verifiable information dead wrong:

"...unveiled in 1998"
- Less than 60 seconds on Google will tell you it was unveiled at IFMA Cologne Show, in 1992. Its LAST year of production was 1998.

"Colours were blue, yellow, black, or later, British Racing Green"
- The original colours were Caspian Blue, Red and Sandstorm (light brown). The bike had at least three different reds in its production run, and also had two different blacks and Khaki Green. The carby Tigers were never produced in yellow.

The inspection check list is impractically spread out over 20 pages and can be used only once. Summarising Chapter 9 into a one or two page check list at the end of the chapter seems like an easy and obvious way to make this book practical and useful, yet it doesn't provide that simple convenience.

The check list provided over those 20 pages doesn't seem to have a strategic order to inspecting bike and doesn't group closely located inspection items together to save time.

The idea of creating this guide is a good one, but this is a disappointingly poor execution of that idea.
