While talking about Newton's book, the TR250 section is filled with
incorrect information such as a picture of a 250 with dual Monzas defined
as one sure way to tell a TR250 and a TR4A apart, and a TR6 reflective top
pictured to be one of the few surviving original 250 tops. And that's just
the pictures. The car they chose to photograph had been liberally spiced up
with TR6 (steering wheel and seats) and aftermarket parts, and passed it
off as representative of the original car.
