way back when i was a teenager THIS WAS MY DREAM CAR...........
-
I like the shape. But I'd like it in a colour that doesn't remind me of cheese.
-
We had a brown "Victory Edition" and I lovingly called ours "The Shape of Things That Break"... Gorgeous car...but worse than AMC build quality. Car was recalled more times in the few years we had it. It finally died in 1979 after a slow painful Lucas caused death. But you know what? I'd kill to have one...
-
I knew 3 people who owned TR7s over the years and they were all reliable, didnt fally to bits and didn't rust. Fords, Vauxhalls and Chryslers of the same era did though, badly.

@3shacks1house A shoe????? Jeeze! You must have strange feet, man!
-
@charlieflint Most cars of this era were unreliable. It's just the morons who think it was only British Leyland who made iffy cars.
-
@3shacks1house The Tr7 was the shape of things to come for British Leyland. They went Bankrupt nearly 30 years after making the TR7.
-
@charlieflint - may be true of other BL cars, but the TR7 definitely had issues, mostly caused by having to squeeze the engine into that wedgy nose.
Oh - and it was fugly.
-
@charlieflint I agree with you on that score. Had an Austin Allegro years ago, before I drove it, I thought it would be rubbish, but you know it was a very good car, should have kept it instead of the Humber Sceptre that I had at the time. Don't knock it till you've tried it, thats my motto.

Should have been the replacement for the Triumph Spitfire, rather than the TR6.

I think it's just people who never even owned one but bought into all the 'BL cars are unreliable crap' diatribe. Like you say, you owned a Spitfire and it was reliable enough, and over the years I've owned several BL vehicles which have been perfectly reliable. I think when it comes to BL/Rover cars there are people who 'know' about them, and then the people who actually know about them.
Always fancied having a TR7.
