Triumph was able to sell around 100,000 TR 6 sports cars. Even more were sold of the TR 7, although this car was under a bad star at the beginning: strikes and shoddy work delayed production; when the various teething troubles had been cured, the value of the dollar - and thus the American market - collapsed. This spelled the end for the Triumph company. This report tells the story of the TR 7 model and shows it in many illustrations and four sales brochures.
When the Triumph TR 7 appeared in 1975, it was hardly reminiscent of its predecessors TR 2 to TR 6, because as a self-supporting, wedge-shaped coupé, it was clearly different from its roadster predecessors. But it made its way and eventually became the most successful TR model ever. This report portrays a late model with a virgin 1300 km on the clock and shows the car in historical photos and in several sales brochures.
At the end of the 1970s, British Leyland announced a fully convertible based on the Triumph TR7 in difficult times. The joy was dampened by the simultaneous demise of the MGB and Triumph Spitfire, but the open TR7 did its job better than expected, even if not all wishes were fulfilled. This driving report is dedicated to the Triumph TR7 Convertible and its history. It is comprehensively illustrated and also includes sales documentation and a sound sample.
