The Wedge: 1980 Triumph TR7 [Triumph]
Not even remotely as loved as its predecessor the TR6, the TR7 and its V8 brother the TR8 are quite literally the ugly step children of the long line of beautiful Triumph sports cars. Marketed as “The Wedge” and hailed by British Leyland as a revolution in sports car design it was either a vehicle far ahead of its time or the height of Malaise Era horror depending on your perspective. As far as I am concerned, I think the TR7 is a unique vehicle and an opportunity to buy an interesting, if relatively unloved, vehicle for dirt cheap and just have fun.
This particular Wedge is apparently pretty well sorted out mechanically, but could enjoy a little refresh of the interior. The bright yellow screams late seventies, early eighties awesomeness and I will personally guarantee that no one else on your street has something quite so ugly/beautiful.
