Father & Son Project – Fixing Our TR7 V8

We are Colin and Eddie, the father-son duo, on a journey through the history and current state of their beloved Triumph TR7 V8. The video begins with a brief history of the car’s origins and my personal experiences with it.

The TR7 was initially launched with a 2 liter four-cylinder engine, but in 1978, the TR8 came with a more powerful three-and-a-half-liter Rover V8. However, Colin and Eddie’s car boasts a 4.6-liter fuel-injected Rover V8 from 1996, which should be faster, better, and more reliable. But as they say, “With great power comes great responsibility,” and in this case, great puddles of oil on the garage floor.

After the history talk, we move on to the video’s main focus: our extensive list of issues to fix. Armed with a whiteboard and determination, we go around the car, identifying every problem that needs to be addressed. The result? A daunting list of tasks. We’ll get them all done someday. Probably.
