Description
(SOLD) This Triumph TR7 convertible is wonderfully preserved example that has been garage kept, with a mere 29,255 original miles traveled since new! It is single-family owned California car, and retains its original engine, transmission, and interior as well. The car is finished in Russet Brown with Tan accents over Tan cloth upholstery and is powered by a 2.0-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Features include pop-up headlights, a black British crushed vinyl soft top, black top boot, original impact bumpers, upgraded 15″ alloy wheels, and AM/FM radio. It’s uncommon to find such a well-preserved and great looking example with such low mileage, let alone one with single ownership history! The TR7 has also received a recent full service and detail, as well as fully passing a California emissions test and is ready for the road!
History
The Triumph TR-7 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 TR-7s continuing into 1982.
