The V8 MONSTER That Britain Never Got!

[@scottmartin356]

Great info, I had always been of the impression that the change to V8 had been a desperation move, so it is interesting to hear that it was already in the planning stages and ran into unfortunate times. Enjoying the channel!

I am neither a TR7, nor a TR8 fan. However, your video was excellent and enjoyable to watch. Thank you.

My dad had one and I got to drive it quite a bit, lovely little sports car. I own a TR6, but I still

NObody called it the British Corvette. I worked for a BL store and drove dozens of these, I loved them.

Ah... easy done. Here's the moment our narrator confuses a TR8 with an elephant. 3:21

I rebuilt a TR7 with a v8 for rallying it was the best car I enjoyed. All sideways

[@thomasschaefer9312]

The TR7 V8 is a really fun car to drive.

SORRY, but THIS Triumph WASN'T designed by Michelotti, who designed all the successful Triumphs of the 60's and 70's.
THIS car was designed by Harris Mann, who designed the decidedly more attractive wedge, the PRINCESS of the 70's

[@robertedwards3551]

Though he did come up with an optional design but they went with Mann's.

Britain didnt get any but they ran a FACTORY RALLY TEAM in the WRC...

I've never heard any Brit say 'drophead'. We call convertibles convertibles.
You might find a fossil calling them a cabriolet, doncha know, but I've never actually witnessed it happening.

0:21 Is that a Triumph Stag in Magenta going through the traffic?

[@lewis72]

No.
The Stag has a distinctive chrome B pillar.
I think it's a Fiat 124 Spider.

The best thing about the car was the engine. The awful bumpers made what could have been a pretty car an ugly one.
