Short description :
Completely diferent from the other TRs, the coupé TR7 was designed by Harris Mam (employed by Austin Morris and not by Triumph…) . The style haxs been discussed from day one. The soft top version will me a little more "accepted". The engine was the engine of the Dolomite Sprint but he has lost half of its 16 valves and its power.

Coucou, it's me, the TR "Machin" of Isabelle . Yes, I am still looking for some attention!

That's it, I got my new blue dress!
