From the Egg Man: a 1978 Triumph TR7
Today's car - a 1978 Triumph TR7 photographed in southern Tasmania and bought to us by the Egg Man - looks rather striking with its dark grey duco and colour-matched wheels. The TR7 and its brutish twin brother, the V8-powered TR8, were the first of the Triumph TR series to adopt monocoque construction, with all previous iterations being of body-on-frame construction. According to Wikpedia, they were also the first TRs to not be launched as a drop-head coupe (a "convertible" in American speak), being available only in fixed-head coupe guise until 1979 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_TR7 , accessed 15 SEP 25) .
