A very early production 1974-built TR7 in Mimosa Yellow with some US-spec features. Very early and rare TR7 FHC 4-speed in Mimosa Yellow with black cord trim. Believed to have been originally left-hand drive (later converted) and destined for the North American market but instead was dispatched to the Experimental Fleet at Triumph in Coventry. Retains its US-spec bumpers, steering wheel and marker lights. According to its Heritage Certificate it was built in 1974 but not registered until 17/03/1976. Purchased in 2024 by our vendor having spent the previous 15 years in a private Collection, its owner at the time believing that it may be the earliest surviving TR7.
Recommissioned later in 2020 by Dennis Vessey, the renowned Triumph engineer. Work carried out included a rolling-road set up, carburettor overhaul, new engine and exhaust mounts and a complete new clutch assembly. Currently indicating 84,547 miles. MOT until March 2026 issued with 'no advisories' A rare, early car - not concours but very well presented and extremely useable and fun as is.
