Triumph TR7
The Triumph TR-7 Has to qualify as one of the worst cars ever built and I speak from personal experience as I was stupid enough to buy one in the early 80’s. I lived in DC at the time and nearly every morning as I accelerated to get onto the Beltway, the engine would die and I would drift out into 65+MPH traffic and slowly drift to a stop. Do you know what it’s like to have the traffic helicopter of your favorite radio station KNOW your car and refer to it personally on air? After about 25 tows to the dealership service department I was screaming at the mechanic woriking under the hood asking him why in the hell I was having to be towed in there so often and he LAUGHED and said, “that’s why we have quit making this model - basic design flaw”. Luckily my husband yanked me away before I slammed the hood down on the man’s neck.
TR3 but did the work ourselves.
If you click the link it is about how mechanics hate the list because the list cars need so little work!
“Triumph TR7”
Triumph, MG, anything British Leyland......
I had a 74 Shi.....I mean Spitfire that lasted for 12 of the 18 payments and then threw a rod out of #3 cylinder. When it was running it was the most fun of any car I ever owned, but I spent more of my time under the ‘bonnet’ than behind the wheel.
