Vintage & Prestige fine motor cars are delighted to offer for sale this 1982 Triumph TR7 V8 Roadster.
This is a one-off street legal track day event car which has the V8 'Corvette' sounding race car engine.Not only will the sound impress, but the sheer amount of torque available from standstill. It leaves most other cars standing and with a power to weight ratio of around 200+bhp/ton, it is a serious performance car (perfect for Goodwood Revival or Shelsey Walsh Hill climb events). With the four wheel disc brake set up, you can also use the performance to the full, safe in the knowledge that it can stop as well as it can accelerate.
This Triumph TR7 V8 Roadtser car has covered a scant 2,804 miles since it's bare metal rebuild. The previous owner tells us it had 117 miles on the clock when purchased in 2009.The TR7 comes with a spare engine block & heads still in their wrappers, in case the next owner is serious about racing!
The paintwork is flawless, finished in ‘Ferrari Rosso Corsa Red’ contrasting beautifully with the ‘Dark Blue’ coloured hides to the seats. Wilton Claret Red wool carpets finish the ensemble.
Under the bonnet lurks the powerful 4.6 litre V8 engine, mated with a 5-speed SD1 box makes for truly electrifying performance.

About Triumph
Triumph, a name synonymous with classic sports cars and innovative designs, has a rich and storied history in the automotive world.The Triumph story began in the late 19th century when the company originally produced bicycles and then expanded into motorcycles. However, it was in the 1920s that Triumph ventured into the production of automobiles. Over the years, Triumph became renowned for its high-quality vehicles that combined performance with style.
One of Triumph's most iconic models was the TR3, introduced in the late 1950s. It was a classic British sports car, loved for its simple yet elegant design and thrilling driving experience. The TR3 was a symbol of affordable sports car enjoyment, and it set the stage for a series of successful TR models, including the TR4, TR5, and TR6.
In addition to sports cars, Triumph made a name for itself with Michelotti-designed sedans. The Triumph Herald, introduced in the early 1960s, was a compact family car that boasted stylish design and solid engineering. Later on, the Triumph 2000 and 2500 sedans catered to a more upscale market and earned a reputation for their comfortable rides and elegant looks.
However, despite its successes, Triumph faced numerous challenges over the years, including financial difficulties and ownership changes. In the 1980s, British Leyland, the company that owned Triumph, underwent significant restructuring, and the Triumph brand was gradually phased out.
The demise of Triumph was indeed sad and, to some extent, disgraceful. The company that had produced beloved sports cars and well-regarded sedans was slowly fading away. In 1984, the last Triumph-badged car rolled off the production line, marking the end of an era.
Although the Triumph name disappeared, its legacy lives on. Enthusiasts and collectors continue to cherish classic Triumph sports cars like the TR3, TR6, and Spitfire, as well as the unique charm of Triumph sedans. Triumph remains a symbol of British automotive heritage and the enduring appeal of classic sports cars.
In conclusion, Triumph's history is a blend of classic sports car excellence and innovative sedan design. Its sad and disgraceful demise serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by many automakers over the years, but the spirit of Triumph lives on in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts around the world.
