Overview

This 1979 Triumph TR7 is finished with vermillion orange paint with black decals, a black convertible top, and a black over houndstooth orange interior. The TR7 and TR8 (the V8-powered version) were the final cars that Triumph ever made. The consignor states that this British automobile is powered by the original 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with a five-speed manual transmission. The odometer shows the original miles on the vehicle, at just under 25,000 miles. The paint on this car is in good condition but not perfect, there are minor paint blemishes due to use, but nothing obvious or major. Overall, the car shows extremely well for a 40+-year-old, survivor vehicle.
