SUMMARY
A very early production 1974-built TR7 in Mimosa Yellow with some US-spec features.
DESCRIPTION
- Very early and rare TR7 FHC 4-speed in Mimosa Yellow with black cord trim
- Believed to have been originally left-hand drive (later converted) and destined for the North American market but instead was dispatched to the Experimental Fleet at Triumph in Coventry. Retains its US-spec bumpers, steering wheel and marker lights
- According to its Heritage Certificate it was built in 1974 but not registered until 17/03/1976
- Purchased in 2024 by our vendor having spent the previous 15 years in a private Collection, its owner at the time believing that it may be the earliest surviving TR7
- Recommissioned later in 2020 by Dennis Vessey, the renowned Triumph engineer. Work carried out included a rolling-road set up, carburettor overhaul, new engine and exhaust mounts and a complete new clutch assembly
- Currently indicating 84,547 miles. MOT until March 2026 issued with 'no advisories'
- A rare, early car - not concours but very well presented and extremely useable and fun as is
