Good enough for the greatTony Pond
To be fair, the basic shape isn’t bad. The scallop sides disappear in black and that pinstripe helps draw the eye. Still doesn’t explain why the rear lights were put on upside down. The tartan interiors were and still are pretty cool.Here’s my black TR7 complete with gold pinstripe! Poor condition photo though.View attachment 80652
Actually TR7's are good to drive, Its just the public weren't ready for such a radical departure from what Triumph made beforeA much better photo. It actually looks a lot better from this angle. I remember it was a very comfortable ride.

What I do remember at the time about TR7’s is the build quality or rather lack of it. Doors falling off and the likes.
Probably more to do with the final days of BL and the strikes that justice was not served on the car.
For those who weren’t ready for the radical looks there was always the Acclaim. Remember at the time and being maybe 13. Why the Acclaim after the TR. sad days.
Oh, and had a Scalectrix (200 figure of eight?) with a red and a yellow TR7 in rally livery.
