Petrol inject ionand the

Tr iumph TRO P. I .

Petrol injection is a product of inter-nat ional motor racing. l t was developed(bV Lucas, in th is country) to provideFormula One cars wi th smoother, evenmore vivid acceleration, with consistentrel iabi l i ty under the most severe dr iv ingcondi t ions.

Today, near ly al l the top racing cars aref i t ted wi th fuel in ject ion. But only ahandful of manufacturers of fer f uel-injected cars to private motorists.

In Br i ta in, Tr iumph is the f i rst and onlymanufacturer to fit petrol injection to avolume product ion sports car.

How does the system work ? ln thesimplest terms, fuel is pumped from thetank, pressurised and accurately metered.Measured charges are then injected into

each port in turn, in the form of a f inespray. They mix wi th the intake air whichis then compressed and igni ted in theusual way.

The system is precise, efficient andeconomical . There is no hi t and missabout i t ; f lat spots are el iminated andthe engine torque curve is great ly im-proved.

Teamed with the 2+ l i t re, s ix-cyl inderTRO engine, petrol in ject ion givessmoother low-speed motor ing, wi thinstant throttle response and searingaccelerat ion, p lus c leaner exhaust emis-s ion .The world 's top racing dr ivers rely on fuelin ject ion for extra performance and rel ia-bil i ty. Now-as all the best advertisementssay-you can, too.

A 150 b.h.p. P.l. engine calls for brakes like these

For real stopping power, the TRO P.l. has10t' discs up front, 9" drum brakes atthe rear. Both sets are servo assisted, andwill operate independently of each other.Finally, look at that steel girder chassis. lt 'srigid. Rustproofed. And very, very strong.
