Built for speed rather than the street, this 1980 Triumph TR7 is a purpose-built competition machine with an impressive racing pedigree. Originally campaigned as a land-speed racer before being converted for vintage road racing, this lightweight British sports car comes complete with its SCCA logbook, making it an exciting opportunity for anyone looking to enter the world of historic sports car racing or add a unique vintage race car to their collection.
Power comes from a highly developed 2.0L inline-four featuring a balanced rotating assembly, lightened flywheel, aggressive 7,800 RPM race cam, dual valve springs, titanium retainers, 12:1 compression, ARP hardware, crank trigger ignition with an MSD spark box, and a pair of dual 40mm Weber DCOE carburetors. Backed by a 5-speed manual transmission, this engine was built to reward high-rev driving with the sharp response enthusiasts expect from a dedicated race car.
The lightweight body is finished in white with bold red and blue racing stripes. It features a custom fiberglass MAXTON nose, fiberglass hood and deck lid, and a Lexan windscreen. A coil-over rear suspension, 13-inch black steel wheels wrapped in racing tires, ATL fuel cell, fire suppression system, Auto Meter instrumentation, Innovate AFR gauge, red Kirkey racing seat, Simpson five-point harness, and full roll cage complete a cockpit focused entirely on performance.
