I think Ed had a bit of brake fluid boiling causing his massive brake fade in the Mallala 6 hour as part of the TSOA South Australia team. 4 of us from Victoria drove over to help make up a Triumph team - Авто та транспорт
Bugga. 😮
Isn’t a TR7 with a V8 a TR8?
When the TR7 was released it was planned to have a V8 option and in fact the British Leyland rally team fitted a Rover V8 which was called a TR7V8. Eventually Triumph were able to bring out the V8 version as a factory option calling it the TR8.
Initially the projection of sales of the Rover SD1 was going to take all the V8's British Leyland could make so Triumph couldn't make a V8 version of the TR7 but SD1 sales were not matching what sales had projected making it all possible for the TR8 . All very late in the production of the TR7/ TR8 and very few really were made at all.
