Used Triumph Cars for Sale near Opelika, AL

Bought a used one in 1984. First thing necessary was to rebuild the entire engine. Then it was a constant parade of repairs on Carbs, brake and clutch hydraulics,front end suspension parts, cooling system,interior, convertible top...the list goes on and on. Performance is excellent. Handling is excellent, Brakes are superb. Appearance is outstanding...looks like a true sports car should. Rattles and squeaks like all British cars do, but who cares? Driving this car is the most fun I've ever had in any car. All the inherent problems with British cars seem non-important compared to the fun of driving this British roadster.

...when everything works. But it's a fun little car! Lucas electrics that work when you don't need them to. Carburetors that you have to maintain every time it rains. Or every time it snows. Or every time it Thursdays. But it has a limited slip rear end, and once you get things taped together it goes well until something comes unglued. You have to love british cars to even tolerate owning a TR7.

I liked the looks of the car a lot. It had great styling and the convertable top was awesome on cool fall days. The motor had plenty of torque to pull you along. It was a great car for cruising around town.

This little Triumph is a thrill to drive. It has a 2 liter straight 6 under the bonnet (hood to us yanks) that gets its 2100 lbs moving very quickly. It handles pretty good in the twisties as well. Triumph only made 13000 of this Mark III model between Oct 1970 & Dec 1973 before production stopped for the GT6 making this a pretty rare car.

The appearance, handling, torque and sound of these cars is superb. When brought back to proper condition they are very reliable and can be driven anywhere. They are easy to maintain and parts are readily available. The Lucas electricals get a bum rap but are as good as any other electrical system of the era. There are many modern upgrade available that help improve their reliability and performance.
