1975 Triumph TR7 Hardtop review from North America
"When it would start, it was a lot of fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Would NEVER start when it rained.
Steering bolt fell out when almost new; NO STEERING.
Gas pedal cable snapped.
Oil pump quit.
Pop up headlights stopped popping up; had to crank them up manually.
Smith gauges worked sporadically
General comments?
It was ahead of its time style wise, but mechanically it was a nightmare. I remember getting pulled over by a cop because he just wanted to inspect the car; it was a real attention getter. And the handling was awesome!
