As I've mentioned here before, I worked at the local British car dealer in the '70s as a teenager. The TR7 was hands down the worst car they ever sold. And that is including the Triumph Stag, a V-8 powered rolling colostomy bag that never ran from the day it was built.
The highest mileage Stag or TR7 in the world probably has less than 20k original miles. If they ever built one that was a half-decent car, it would be the definition of a freak. Calling these lemons would be a massive upgrade, they aspire but never achieve lemon status. The service managers spent half their days on the phone w corporate screaming, "WTF?!?!"
Other than that, they were OK.
