The yellow paint really pops and helps this classic stand out. Priced at just 9,995, this is a vehicle you can own and pass down to the next generation!

The 1977 Triumph TR7 coupe features a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout powered by a 2.0-liter "Slant-4" single-overhead-cam engine paired with a 4 speed manual transmission with dual carburetors. The Triumph TR7 stands out in automotive history primarily for its radical design shift, marketing angles, and its unique place as the "shape of things to come."

Here is what made the TR7 truly unique:

The "Wedge" Design: Its most defining feature was its sharp, aerodynamic wedge profile created by Harris Mann. It looked entirely different from the curvy, traditional British roadsters that came before it (like the TR6 or Spitfire).
"The Shape of Things to Come": This became one of the most famous marketing slogans of the 1970s. The car's pop-up headlights and low, sloping nose were heavily promoted as futuristic.
Designed for Threatening US Regulations: In the mid-1970s, it was widely rumored that the US (Triumph's biggest market) would ban traditional convertible roll-over hazards. Triumph preemptively designed the TR7 as a hardtop coupe with a built-in roll structure to meet these expected safety laws (though the ban never actually happened).
The "Slant-Four" Engine: It utilized a unique 8-valve engine tilted at a 45-degree angle. This configuration was specifically chosen to allow for the car's signature low, sloping hood line.
Modernized Suspension: Moving away from the independent rear suspension of the TR6, the TR7 used a well-sorted four-link live rear axle with coil springs, which gave it surprisingly predictable and agile handling for its era.
