Our Take:
- Historical Snapshot: The Triumph TR7, often dubbed the "Wedge," first hit the roads in the mid-'70s and became a quintessential British sports car of its time. By 1980, it had become a staple in the roadster world despite its sometimes controversial styling and mechanical quirks.
- Engineered for Driving Fun: With its 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a delightful manual transmission, the TR7 was all about that pure driving experience. Sure, it wasn't the fastest on the block, but the thrill of shifting through gears in this gem can't be overstated.
- Design Departure: The car's wedge-shaped design was quite a departure from what many expected of Triumph. Some loved it, others—well, not so much. The fact that the original owner opted for a custom paint job before even driving it hints at this mixed reception.
- Survivor Status: Given that many TR7s have rusted away or were modified, finding one that's "almost completely original" and well-maintained is a real treat. This car stands as a testament to the era of British automotive design, offering a connection to the past for those who appreciate its niche charm.
