When Triumph introduced the TR7 they committed commercial suicide. What an embarrassment and an insult to a great run of true sports cars. I had a TR4A for a nearly 2 years sold it for a Ford 1500 Mk1 Cortina GT.
Let's face it ever tried getting your leg over in a sports car, the ford was better suited.
I sailed with someone who claimed to have managed it in a Messersmchidt, behind the Oxford Galleries in Newcastle.Quote:

#49 Should have said the Caviler was 4WD they only made a few of them 4WD, lovely car to drive.
Are you another one who got to the afternoon tea dances in the Oxford Gallerys Tony. Even the old teddy boys used to get in there used to trip over them in the toilets standing in front of the mirrors combing their DAs. Cheers JS

He never mentioned whether the canopy was open or closed, but am sure the fore and aft seats were not reclinersQuote:
