The Triumph TR7 is a sports car manufactured from September 1974 to October 1981 by the Triumph Motor Company (which was part of British Leyland) in the United Kingdom. It was initially produced at the Speke, Liverpool factory, moving to Canley, Coventry in 1978 and then finally to the Rover Solihull plant in 1980. The car was launched in the United States in January 1975, with its UK home market debut in May 1976. The UK launch was delayed at least twice because of high demand for the vehicle in the US, with final sales of new TR7s continuing into 1982.
The car was characterised by its "wedge" shape, which was commonly advertised as: "The Shape of Things to Come", and by a swage line sweeping down from the rear wing to just behind the front wheel. The design was penned by Harris Mann who also designed the wedge-shaped Princess. The car had an overall length of 160 inches (406 cm), width of 66 inches (168 cm), wheelbase of 85 inches (216 cm) and height of 49.5 inches (126 cm). The coupé had a kerbside weight of 2205 pounds (1000 kg). During development, the TR7 was referred to by the code name "Bullet". Original full size model wore MG logos because it was styled at Longbridge, which was not a Triumph factory.

Made a start on getting the tr7 I was given for a few favours running, (Thanks Luke James, subscribe to his channel!) Made a bit of progress, fingers crossed it isn't to far off running but that's been said before... Thanks for watching.
The Triumph TR7 was a very controversial car when it was launched in 1975. Even today its rakish wedge design is a talking point. In this film we chat with Triumph enthusiast Alan Gleaves who spent many years looking for a good TR7. In 2014 he found his dream car. Was it everything he hoped it would be?
