Triumph TR7 - Still Sporty at Forty DVD - Triumph DVD

2014 was a momentous year for Triumph’s wedge shaped sports cars with major events commemorating the model’s 40th year taking place all over the world. We visit Dobson in North Carolina for the Vintage Triumph Register convention. TR7 stylist Harris Mann was guest of honour at this event and he proved to be quite an attraction with over 70 TR7s and TR8s coming from all parts of the USA and Canada.

Former Triumph racer and Triumph dealer Ted Schumacher brought along TR8 serial number 1 (ACN1) and we take a drive in this historic car. Other historic cars attending were the SCCA championship winning Slagle Roadster which Ken Slagle actually drove again after a 30 year hiatus. Woody Cooper brought his famous ‘BAD8’ TR8 and Tim Lanocha came in the fastest Triumph road car in the world today - the ‘Lanocha TR8’. We put you in the cockpit of this amazing car as Tim takes to the road for a demonstration.

In England the TR7 Anniversary Run weekend saw legendary Triumph test driver Gordon Birtwistle return to MIRA with an early TR7 coupe to replicate much of the testing he carried out all those years ago. Then it was North to Liverpool for the overnight halt before the Anniversary Run itself which saw 40 Wedges drive between the three factory sites that assembled the cars from September 1974 to October 1981. The final destination was the Heritage Motor Centre at Gaydon where 107 cars were joined by the largest gathering of senior Triumph personnel responsible for putting the TR7 into production ever assembled at any club event. Highlights on Disc 2 are the full VTR forum session with Harris Mann, an extended look at the Lanocha TR8 and the TR7 40 gathering in Pretoria, South Africa.
