1980 Triumph TR7

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The Triumph TR7 was created by British Leyland to be an affordable, volume-selling sports car targeted for the American market, which was the most lucrative for British sports cars. Making its debut in the United States in January 1975, the TR7 was received well with high initial demand, which delayed availability in the UK until May 1976.

Its distinctive "wedge" shape was styled to capture a futuristic, yet commercially viable look atop an easy to service and maintain platform that featured a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. Initially offered only as a fixed-head coupe, a convertible variant was introduced in 1979 after the US Department of Transportation relented on their attempts to ban convertibles.

This ‘80 Triumph convertible is finished in teal metallic over caramel leather upholstery, and its 2.0-liter SOHC inline-four has been fitted with a Weber progressive carburetor. The car features a five-speed manual transmission as well as rack-and-pinion steering, anti-roll bars, independent front suspension, front disc brakes, and a rear luggage rack.
