    Really nice job - such fine details. There's a red TR7 rally at the British Motor Museum. Well worth a visit.
    The Castrol version reminds me of the Stratos with those colours.

    SidewaysKing75, I've been doing customs myself for about nine years, and have looked at various videos / seen various presentations, and I must congratulate you on your exceptional work that is probably the best I have seen. I have always loved the Triumph TR7, and though Corgi did a fantastic job as usual, but it was obviously designed as a toy but as you demonstrate, has HUGE potential!. I wish Corgi went slightly smaller with the scale to make it closer to 1/64, but the design was perfect. It's always begged for the custom look (Minilites and a neon "safety color" paint job come to mind immediately). Thanks for this presentation.

    When the TR7 was first revealed at the Geneva Motorshow in the early 70s, legendary designer Giorgetto Giugiaro (of Bertoni and Ghia fame) approached it and took a long, studious look at the side of it.
    He then walked around the other side before apparenlty exclaiming 'My God! They’ve done the same to the other side as well!’
    British Leyland design at it's finest.

    @neilperry2224 3 года назад +1

    I had the larger one these as a child, and re-painted it to look like the rally versions. They were designed Terence Mann, and my brother had a black one with the gold sonic alloys that were crumbling. The headlamp motors only ever lasted a few months, he soon got good at reguild, frankensteining different motors together. And if I can remember they were a heavily modified wiper motor, a bit anaemic on the power for raising the lights..

    I saw a product the other day which I think you might be interested in dabbling in is Vacuum Forming to replace tattered windscreens or even doing a clear bodyshell and paint from the inside? (just an idea :) ) I will PM you regarding a suggestion as well :)

    Lovely job! The real vehicle was never one of my favourites. In the late 1970's anything made by British Leyland was seen as a bit of a joke, to be brutally frank. However, like you, the TR7 looks okay until that vertical rear window - it's a design choice akin to putting a brick chimney on a Supermarine Spitfire. Never saw many, to be honest. I did like the yellow one driven by the character Purdey (Joanna Lumley) in 'The New Avengers', a favourite show of mine.

    • @SidewaysKing75
      @SidewaysKing75  3 года назад +1

      i always thought it was like the old stories of British Leylands cars that were made on a Friday afternoon were thrown together to knock off the shift. I read somewhere a mechanic found a half eaten cornish pasty inside the door card of a Montego following a bad smell the owner had complained about after a few months of ownership! I reckoned this car was designed on a Friday too 11.59am and they needed to complete the design by noon hence that rear window and arseend LOL! Many thanks and hope you are well🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍

    Nice job. I agree entirely about the TR7, it really was an ugly little car. I seem to remember in its final days it morphed into a V8 soft top.Was that called TR 8.

      Many thanks.... I remember them too, at least cutting the roof off only made it half as ugly as the original🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
