Triumph thought they were creating the sports car of the future, but in reality they had built what would become one of Britain’s most maligned creations. Even TR faithful regularly turn their backs on the poor TR7. It wasn’t all bad, but once stereotypes are formed, they are hard to break. As a result, parts supply are relatively slim and values have stayed low. That isn’t necessarily bad if you want a cheap project or if you want to build one of these… We aren’t sure who started this whole thing, but there is a small group of guys who like to take unassuming car bodies and stick them on 4×4 chassis. This TR7 has been dropped on a CJ7 frame and is powered by a 302 V8 from a Monte Carlo. Take a look here on craigslist where it’s listed for $4,800. The seller claims that they have even used it as a daily driver! I’m not encouraging this type of thing, but honestly it does seem like a good use for a car that is so disdained. What do you think?
