Thanks for this info & photo, Bill. To me the third car is bland and uninspiring compared to the original in the same way the MK4 VW Golf is an insipid pastiche of the MK1.
The wheels are especially terrible - 5 stud wheels should have 5 spokes!
Good to know what it is, it is a lovely thing. Chevy engine too!
I got a bit sidetracked by similarity, except for some details, to the Ferrari 308 GTB:
In my opinion the TR7 with or without a roof is utterly dreadful in every way. But I'm surprised how few of us got it - it is certainly as striking as the workforce at British Leyland!π
Not as cross-eyed as this monstrosity from Morgan - they had to use VW Beetle headlights since BMW wouldn't let them use the Mini headlights Morgan wanted until the Series 3.
I disagree - I like this a lot but couldn't quite place it. Glad to learn what it is - and that it has a decent powertrain.
Reminds me of those brutal Maserati and Ferrari sports-racers of the 1950s:
