Triumph ACG/ACH (1975–1981)

The Triumph TR7 and TR8 represent the final chapter of the TR sports car story. The wedge-shaped body, designed by Harris Mann, divided opinion on launch in 1975 but has since aged well. The TR7 used a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine producing 105bhp in UK specification. The rarer TR8 was fitted with the Rover V8 engine producing 133bhp, making it a genuine performance car. Both models are available as coupe and convertible. The TR8 is increasingly collectible while the TR7 remains an affordable entry into the classic Triumph world. Build quality issues plagued early cars but later examples from the Coventry and Solihull plants are significantly better. Parts availability is good through the TR Register and specialist suppliers.

Available body styles: Coupe, Roadster. Produced from 1975 to 1981.
