The Triumph TR7 is one of those almost forgotten classics that was launched in 1974 as the “Shape of things to Come” as British Leyland headed to bankruptcy. TR7 styling was penned by Harris Mann (known for his Austin Allegro and Princess work) and while it won’t win any beauty contests, it certainly checks all […]
I’m always a fan of a really nice condition example of an unloved classic like the TR-7, and this thing is a special edition too! Just what is a “Victory Edition” anyway? If this was a 1982 or later it might be a references to the Falkans War, but a quick internet search reveals that […]
This next car comes as a tip from BP who writes: Seems to be someone’s Sunday driver, garage kept its entire life and OK underneath. NO RESERVE and auction closes 11/23. Plenty of time to argue at home and finally get your own way considering your going to spend 11/25 with your crazy in-laws so […]
The Triumph Spitfire was a little sportscar built for a long time (1962-1980) on Triumph Herald sedan chassis and powered by a small 4-cylinder engine. A few have been given an upgrade in power from the inline-6 that was in the GT6 coupe, and that is a nice upgrade…but if you really want the little […]
The expression “project car” conjures up images of hard work and some bucks to provide material and parts, but most of my experience with project cars has been limited to getting an old car back on the road. Maybe some paint/body repair. Perhaps an engine rebuild. But this next car. I’m not sure if it […]
We got so many submissions for Loony Labor Day that we are going to need to turn it into a Loony Labor Week celebration of the nutty. You guys must really like strange cars. Oops, projecting again. My therapist has warned me about that. Haha. Jokes on you, I don’t have a therapist, although I […]
The Triumph TR7 was born at the wrong time. It was born in a time when car designs were saddled with huge front/rear bumpers and silly ride height, not to mention complicated Rube Goldberg inspired carburmafactor and all sorts if ill thought out ideas. At least today’s TR7 should survive for a few years because […]
I was eating some kind of meal replacement bar the other day that I found in my pantry and I mentioned to someone “this isn’t bad, but it is sorta like eating something created by someone who had never eaten, but only read about it”. It isn’t an experience that I would recommend, but it […]
The Triumph Spitfire was a little sportscar built for a long time (1962-1980) on Triumph Herald sedan chassis and powered by a small 4-cylinder engine. The Spitfire might be small in stature, but it is large in character and deserves a spot in any car guy’s garage. Find this 1971 Triumph Spitfire Mk4 offered for […]
This next car comes as a tip from Matt C who writes: Here we have a DT priced Triumph Spitfire with a small block Chevy. The owner did not quite finish the project, possibly remembering his own mortality at the last minute. Yikes, that is indeed a terrifying custom, but I have to say that […]
