The Triumph TR7 is a sports car that was manufactured in the United Kingdom from September 1974 to October 1981 by British Leyland Motor Corporation (BLMC), which changed its name to British Leyland (BL) in 1975. The car was launched in the United States in January 1975, with its UK home market debut in May 1976. The UK launch was delayed at least twice because of high demand for the vehicle in the US, with final sales of new TR7s continuing into 1982.
It was initially produced at the Speke, Liverpool, factory,[2][3][4] moving to Canley, Coventry, in 1978 and then finally to the Rover Solihull plant in 1980.
