The Triumph TR7 Sprint was intended to be a development of the Triumph TR7 sports car, from the Triumph Motor Company (part of British Leyland). The main development from the TR7 was to be the replacement of the 105 bhp 2-litre, 8-valve version of the Triumph slant-four engine with the 2-litre 16-valve version,〔 which was already in use in the Dolomite Sprint.〔〔 In that guise, the 16-valve version was specified at 127 bhp.〔〔 The TR7 Sprint was apparently ready for full production when there was a major strike in 1977-8 at the BL Speke plant, where the TR7s were then being produced. Following this, the plant was closed, production of the TR7 was moved to Canley, Coventry, and the TR7 Sprint was cancelled.〔〔〔〔 However, while it did not reach full production, about 60 prototype and preproduction cars, both left and right hand drive, were manufactured between February and October 1977, in fixed head coupé form only. 〔〔〔 Some of these cars were then used by BL in the staff lease plan, or were sold on, and a number are known to still exist.〔〔 Also, the TR7s used by BL in rallying from 1976 until 1979 used 16 valve 2 litre Sprint engines and were, in effect, TR7 Sprints.〔 ==Technical specification== Engine: Triumph Slant Four 1,998cc 16 valve Capacity: 1998 cc Valves: 16 Compression ratio: 9.5:1〔 Fuel system: Twin 1¾" choke SU HS6 carburettors〔 Maximum Power: 127 bhp @ 5200 rpm (estimated)〔〔 Maximum Torque: 122 lb ft @ 4500 rpm (estimated)〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Triumph TR7 Sprint」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
