Built for speed rather than the street, this 1980 Triumph TR7 is a
purpose-built competition machine with an impressive racing
pedigree. Originally campaigned as a land-speed racer before being
converted for vintage road racing, this lightweight British sports
car comes complete with its SCCA logbook, making it an exciting
opportunity for anyone looking to enter the world of historic
sports car racing or add a unique vintage race car to their
collection.
Power comes from a highly developed 2.0L inline-four featuring a
balanced rotating assembly, lightened flywheel, aggressive 7,800
RPM race cam, dual valve springs, titanium retainers, 12:1
compression, ARP hardware, crank trigger ignition with an MSD spark
box, and a pair of dual 40mm Weber DCOE carburetors. Backed by a
5-speed manual transmission, this engine was built to reward
high-rev driving with the sharp response enthusiasts expect from a
dedicated race car.
The lightweight body is finished in white with bold red and blue
racing stripes. It features a custom fiberglass MAXTON nose,
fiberglass hood and deck lid, and a Lexan windscreen. A coil-over
rear suspension, 13-inch black steel wheels wrapped in racing
tires, ATL fuel cell, fire suppression system, Auto Meter
instrumentation, Innovate AFR gauge, red Kirkey racing seat,
Simpson five-point harness, and full roll cage complete a cockpit
focused entirely on performance.
Whether you're searching for a vintage race car for sale, preparing
for your next historic sports car racing event, or looking for a
distinctive 1980 Triumph TR7 for sale, this race-prepared TR7
offers the engineering, documentation, and competition history to
make every weekend at the track one to remember!
