Launch and Model Evolution
The TR7 debuted in mid‑January 1975 at a launch event in Boca Raton, Florida. Production ran from 1975 until 1981, beginning as a coupe and gaining a convertible version in 1979.
A Controversial and Rare Variant
The TR7 is often called the most controversial sports car ever built. An ultra‑rare TR7 Sprint, equipped with the Dolomite’s 16‑valve engine, saw only about 60 examples produced.
Collector‑Friendly Yet Parts‑Scarce
Because it was produced in large numbers, the TR7 is an affordable gateway to 1970s British machinery. However, specific components such as the 1981‑82 blue velour door panels and certain single‑outlet fuel tanks have become extremely hard to locate.
