The Triumph TR7 is one of those cars that simply cannot be mistaken for anything else.

With its famous "wedge" design, sharp lines, low profile, and pop-up headlights, the TR7 represented a dramatic departure from the rounded styling of earlier Triumph sports cars. It was futuristic when new and remains wonderfully distinctive today.

And this one has the feature enthusiasts really want:

Drop the top, put on your favorite driving music, and suddenly even a trip to the grocery store feels like an event.

The TR7 isn't about getting from Point A to Point B as quickly as possible. It's about enjoying the journey.

The TR7 was designed to be an approachable British sports car — something that could deliver the fun and character of a traditional Triumph while offering a more modern driving experience.

Behind the wheel, the car has the kind of mechanical personality that has largely disappeared from today's automobiles.

You get:

Steering you can feel.

An engine you can hear.

A lightweight sports-car feel.

A convertible top.

And absolutely no shortage of personality.

This is a car you drive because you want to drive it.

The TR7's styling is arguably its most recognizable feature.

The sharp wedge-shaped body, low nose, dramatic roofline, and pop-up headlights give it a look that is unmistakably late-1970s/early-1980s British automotive design.

The convertible configuration makes it even more desirable for anyone looking for an enjoyable vintage cruiser.

Please review all photographs carefully for the condition of the paint, body panels, trim, bumpers, wheels, glass, lights, and weather-stripping.

One of the best features of this TR7 is the ability to enjoy it with the top down.

Please inspect the photographs for the condition of the fabric, windows, frame, seals, and surrounding trim.

Inside, the TR7 delivers the kind of vintage sports-car environment that modern vehicles simply can't duplicate.

The driver-oriented cockpit, classic instrumentation, low seating position, and compact proportions make it feel like you're climbing into a piece of British automotive history.

Interior condition: Brown
