1975 Factory Prepared Triumph TR7 16-Valve Sprint Rally Car

This very special Triumph TR7 rally car has arguably the largest history file of any car we've handled this year! Certainly, the most interesting that's for sure.

KDU367N was supplied to the British Leyland Marketing Services on 26th June 1975. Becoming the official factory reconnaissance and press car.

KDU367N / ACG/6 Is regarded also as being the oldest surviving home market TR7.

If that wasn't enough to get your appetite wet, yet another interesting fact regarding the car is that KDU367N is factory fitted with a 16-Valve engine. Just a handful of factory cars were built to this specification, obviously all bearing KDU registrations, and the TR Drivers Club holds some very interesting history surrounding these TR7 'Sprint' rally cars.

These 16v factory cars were as follows: -

KDU497N & KDU498N Both works factory rally cars

KDU467N & KDU488N Both 'works' rally cars again, being prepared for private entrants.

KDU487N Development test-bed car and this car. KDU367N the factory press and reconnaissance car. So you can see she's in pretty good company!!

Not only is this history impressive, as mentioned above the amount the paperwork supplied with this car is eye watering! There are folders listing Competition and General History, MSA information, Technical history, Maintenance and Expense Records, Tax / MOT history, a British Heritage Certificate clearly identifying the car as an official works press car and a MSA Competition Logbook.

Give yourself some time to go through all this..... there's a lot !!

Here with us today looking fabulous in the iconic British Airways livery KDU367N has been lovingly refurbished for road, regularity or stage rallies, or arguably more likely, a great car to take to the ever growing 'demonstration events' These laid back events are becoming more and more popular every year, not only with entrants, but spectators too, where owners of historically important cars can 'let their hair down' and enjoy the cars without the pressure and fierce competition of timed events.

The car would require a basic 'run through the workshop' making sure such things as fire suppressant / safety equipment etc is up to speed and off you go!
