I have been around Triumph TR7's since they were
new. My first car was a TR7 and for many
years I owned a 1980 TRIUMPH TR7 SPIDER that was the VTR national champion -
thus I am well versed in these cars. The
later cars, particularily the convertibles are the better cars. BETTER BUILT, BETTER RELIABILITY, AND BETTER VALUE. The car offered here is one of the last TRIUMPH TRs built being a 1981
model. The 1981 cars had the rare bosch
fuel injection which provided excellent fuel economy and performance. The later cars also had a nicer interior of
blue or tan suede as opposed to the tacky tartan plaid offerings of
the earlier cars. A quick walk around this particular car shows it to be a good
solid example. The car was nicely
repainted some years ago in its original silver leaf metalic color
- a color only offered on the last cars built. There is no evidence of any
major accidents/damage in the cars past. All panel gaps are
correct. The doors, bonnet, and trunk
open & close smoothly. Everything
works as it should. The
pop-up headlamps perform properly. The interior is in nice condition for its age despite typical wear and
tear. The carpets have been replaced
within the last few years to keep things looking tidy and fresh. No noticeable cracks or broken plastic
pieces. The convertible top works as it should and still has a few good years
of service left. Mechanically the car has been upkept with newer gaskets and
seals, overhauls as needed, and regular maintenance to keep it mechanically 100%.
The 2.0 liter overhead cam 4-cylinder engine starts at the turn of the key and
runs flawlessly. The clutch operates
effortlessly as the 5-speed manual transmission shifts smoothly through all of
the gears. If you have been looking for
an honest Triumph TR7 convertible, then this may be the right car for you. The boot cover for when the top is down and a car cover are in the trunk. I just noticed the hood was popped open when I took the photos. Call 908-788-1982 for further details or check us out at jagshop.com
