Dulcich Joyride: His Triumph TR7 - Roadkill Extra

It’s another installment of the Roadkill Extra series where Steve Dulcich hops in a random car on the farm and takes you for a spin with some road-test reviews and wild rides. This time we visit Steve’s English-car kink as he reveals a passion for his Triumph TR7.

I'm really liking the "Dulcich jumps into one of his heaps and finds out how broken it is" Extras. Thanks for this!

I have a 1980. Needs stuff. Thanks for the ride. Now I for sure want to get it done for summer fun.

I enjoy Dulcich's down to earth, knowledgeable awkwardness.

Dulcich is quickly becoming the favourite Motor Trend personality.

These cars are a blast to drive. Pure joy. Who cares if they are funky? They have the soul of a Roadkill car.

I've probly owned 10 or 12 TR7's/TR8's since 1996. Currently own a 1979 TR7 convertible!! Nice!

Triumph TR7: The Shape of Things to Come.
Fun video. I remember long ago when my brother first saw my Porsche 924 (from the front 3/4 view) he said "A TR7?". I miss driving a fun little sports car.

Love the body flex as he turns the corner. You can see the door alignment change. LOL. The coupes were better.

Somewhere Lucky is thinking about putting a 6.0 in this thing with Tony breaking it on the same show.

I had a red TR7 convertible. I babied that car in every way . Wouldn’t think of starting it without checking every fluid and tire pressure. Kept it washed and waxed and garage kept under a cover. It was a delight to it ran. Which was about half the time. It was the only car I ever drove over 100mph. Back when I thought that was a good idea.

The TR8 was the best of them....based on the GM 218 Cubic Inch that British Leyland acquired. Should be some parts around to hop it up a bit! Love to see the boys get into one of those!

[dgrcgrl]

I love that car and the review of it. I had a tr7 a few years ago but wrecked it. Now i have a 1970 triumph gt6...nice car...man thats cool to see a british car getting some love...

I worked at 2 British car dealerships in the 70s. IlRC the TR 7 came to the USA in 75. At first we only got Coupes with a 4 speed. In 77 we got the convertibles with the 5 speed. I never saw a fuel injected version. Personally I didn't really like the looks of them but liked to drive them. The acceleration and braking were adequate and the handling was really quite good. Even now l would love to have a modified Coupe with beefed up suspension, brakes and a mild street engine.

Keep these episodes coming! They're fun, no ego here, and like listening to a buddy. Simple and unpretentious. Great job MT & Steve! I'd subscribe for Steve's own show.

Roadkill Extra; "Dulcich Beats his Junk"

[timdalton]

Now
I actually want a TR7.... best road test vid I've seen in ages

[kinked_chrome]

If anything is going convince me to get motortrend on demand, it's gonna be for more Dulcich content

[anthonyhfe]

I love my '77 TR7. What a fun car!! This vid shows how much fun they are. 2 liter OHC, 5-speed, dual Stromberg carbs. A recipe for fun. Great video!!

[davidcollis]

The TR7 came out in 1975. I had a 1976 model. The last model was in 1981. The V8 version was called the TR8.

[cheftush]

Awesome! Great to see you out enjoying it! I've got a TR8 (along with a few other TR's). Thanks Dulcich!
