	Triumph TR7 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Triumph TR7 was a sports car manufactured from 1975 to 1981 by the Triumph Motor Company, then part of British Leyland (and subsequently, BL Ltd.), in the United Kingdom.
		As part of the rationalization introduced by BL boss Sir Michael Edwardes, the Triumph TR7 was cancelled in 1981.
		In 1980 the TR7 Drophead sold for £5050, and £5230 for the Coupe in the United Kindgom.

	Triumph Motor Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		But many Triumphs of this era were unreliable, including the 2.5 PI with its fuel injection problems, and the poor quality of the TR7 and TR8 sports cars, which killed the marque in the United States.
		The last Triumph model was the Acclaim which was launched in 1981 in a joint venture with Japanese company Honda.
		The Triumph name disappeared in 1984, when the Acclaim was replaced by the Rover 200, which was also simply a rebadged version of Honda's Civic/Ballade model.

		The Wedge shape of the TR7 caused much consternation amongst the motoring press when it was first unveiled to the public in late 1974.
		The TR7 was an innovation, it broke from tradition, trod new ground and dared to be different.
		Whatever journalists may say the TR7 was not the death nell for mass produced British sportscars, nor was it the catalyst for the demise of our car industry as a whole.

		Apparently the Triumph factory was more modern than that of MG, and MG was working on a new mid-engined car that BL had no interest in at all.
		Triumph standardized this specification for the NA market, but due to supply problems it was only briefly offered, then dropped, for the home market.
		Triumph invites you to a new opening, was the heading on the two-page colour ad in the August 1979 issue of Road & Track.

		When the Triumph Herald, Spitfire and derivatives first appeared in the 1960s, their radically new design features made them perfect DIY cars for the owners of the day.
		There is also advice on what to look for when buying a Triumph TR - the strengths and weaknesses of this classic car - hints on restoration and on preparing a car for competition, and fascinating information on the competition successes and the men behind the cars.
		When the TR7 was introduced in the mid-1970s, it was a complete contrast to Triumph’s traditional TR sports cars.

	Triumph TR7 and TR8 - The History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		I think it is generally accepted that the TR7 was not the most inspiring of cars when it first appeared back in late 1974.
		In the late 60's the Triumph company were working on a replacement for their TR6 and Stag models.
		Looking back, I suppose it was must have looked strange that Triumph's own V8, as used in the Stag, was not utilised and some enthusiasts had critisised the move as a further derogation of the marque.

	Triumph TR7/TR8 development story
		The thinking behind this car, called the Triumph Lynx was that with its extended accommodation, it could be an effective competitor to the Ford Capri; a car which was proving to be a runaway hit for Ford and in the process, was re-inventing the sports car market in the UK and Europe.
		The TR7 platform had its wheelbase extended by a full twelve inches and longer passenger doors were incorporated in order to balance the side view of the car and improve access to the rear seats.
		Early quality niggles were not evident at the time of the launch of the Triumph TR7 and because it was an export-only car, the US journalists were reporting on the car a full year ahead of their counterparts on the domestic market.

		In retrospect says Eamon the TR7 conversion was a natural the engine being little more than half a Stag together with its inherent problems when not looked after properly.
		Eamons own V6 TR7 has the power steering fitted as well as one or two other modifications that although not strictly necessary were carried out purely for his own personal satisfaction.
		Even with the overdrive fifth gear of the TR7 box Eamon found that the standard 3.9:1 final drive gearing was a touch too low for the kind of work the car needed to do.

	TRIUMPH TR7
		As for myself, personally, I admire the TR7 (in drophead and fixed head form) for what it was and I would never undertake any major changes or modifications that alter my car's original specification.
		There are many spares suppliers for the TR7 today and most parts can be obtained, many are remanufactured to original specification and supplied by or through heritage approved suppliers worldwide.
		Even the most original TR7 is now well over eighteen years old, but one of the things I love about TR7's is that they have never looked like an 'old style' car.

		Triumph engineers were looking ahead when they laid out the large engine bay that provides plenty of room – so V6 tune-up, service, etc. is super easy.

	Motoring Answers: The Triumph TR7
		To quote: \'A TR7 steers, rides and stops in a far more modern manner than the MGB.\' And: \'The TR7 is one of the emerging classic car bargains of the 1990s.\' It may be ugly to some, but for affordable open-air touring, how can you beat it?
		Because Roverhire, the Triumph West London agents, could never get parts and could never fix the damn thing, they resorted to cheering up disgruntled customers by handing them a motoring joke book (no kidding).
		I accept that, over the years, a painstaking owner such as yourself, using aftermarket mods, may well have solved many of the car\'s design and build deficiencies, but this was impossible when I had mine and the TR7 remains the worst car I have ever had to live with.

	Triumph TR7 Drop-head Coupe 1979
		I have found other TR7 1:43 models, a couple of them mostly white (manufacturers seem to prefer racecars with lots of numbers and sponsorship decals), but none a convertible.
		The battery was good enough to last four days and a bit without charging, if you didn't drive it after dark.
		As a matter of fact I used to say truthfully that for the first ten years of its life, the TR7 was never out of the garage after dark or in the rain.

	Tr7 & Me
		The World Wide Wedges is a brilliant source of information for these cars and it was there that I read that standard braking on the TR7 is barely adequate and no modification to engine performance should be attempted until the brakes have been upgraded.
		Now it would seem to me that when they built a TR7, they started with a heater matrix and bolted every other part of the car to it and consequently, removal is the opposite of that process.
		My TR7 is normally parked with the left hand side extremely close to the side of my house so I thought it best to have no lock barrel on that side until I could get a new clip.
