Vehicle Description
This 1979 Triumph TR7 has matured into a unique classic that knows
how to represent its era with distinction. It's a two-tone drop-top
with a stick shift and handling as sharp as its pointed nose. It
makes for a cool low-mileage classic that feels like a time
capsule.
The TR7 is a classic that is really starting to get the respect it
deserves. The styling was considered radical when it debuted, but
now we see how it represented its era so well. Cars like the Mazda
RX-7, Fiat X19, and 3rd gen Pontiac Firebird have shown us that
this was the time for sharp lines and hidden headlights. And try
picking up any of those classics today for this Triumph's level of
affordability. Plus, we love the color theme. The 1970s loved
earth-tones and this doubles down with Russet Brown and tan. It's a
driver-ready finish, which means a car you can easily take on the
road while still retaining a good gloss to show off the car's crisp
body lines. This was a time when car companies found new ways for
color coordination. So the black bumpers go well with the black
rockers, and the fresh-looking black convertible top makes for an
especially attractive sense of style. Even the wheels are
incorporated into the theme nicely where the golden Minilite-style
alloys stand out while also matching the badging on the trunk. The
result is a car that's fashionable, vintage, unique, and ready to
drive.
This car is on an actual miles title, and that would mean averaging
under 700 miles annually. And the level of cleanliness inside
really highlights this kind of less use and preservation. The plush
carpeting, smooth dash, taut convertible boot, and clean trunk are
all part of a time capsule impression. You'll love it down to the
details like the classic optional AM/FM radio. While the interior
could qualify for a museum piece, as a true British droptop, this
is meant to be a driver's machine. That's why you have supportive
bucket seats, a gear stick in the ideal position, a grippy steering
wheel, and beyond that is a full set of Smiths gauges - including a
large speedo and tach.
Just like a good British roadster, it's powered by a peppy
four-cylinder motor. The 1998cc unit looks exceptionally fresh in
the engine bay, and so it shows the same level of care and
preservation that was shown on the interior. That's why it fires up
eagerly and feels ready to hit the road. Part of the true fun of a
classic drop-top comes from the full control over the motor, and
while there are plenty of stick-shift European machines, rarely do
you find a vintage one with a five-speed. Nimble steering, modern
sport tires, power brakes, and front discs complete a package that
makes sure this upholds Triumph's grand driving tradition.
Complete with the owner's manual packet, this is a well-kept
classic that also is one of the most affordable ways to celebrate
the best of 1970s style. It's hard to resist this TR7, so why wait?
