</i></h4><h4><i></i></h4>The car did not have an easy life. It was conceived and engineered at a time when the British motor industry was in turmoil; build quality was poor; it didn't have the performance to match its looks and many commentators could not understand its futuristic styling. Ultimately the surviving cars have proved the critics wrong and become sought after, eye catching, classic sports cars. <a href="http://www.tdcautomotive.com/Code-Name-Bullet-DVD-Story-of-the-Triumph-TR7-8_ASOLU.aspx">Buy this DVD Now from TDC Automotive</a><br />

<h2>The Abingdon Works Rally Programme </h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.tdcautomotive.com/_175_1OTQP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tdcautomotive.com/_175_1OTQP.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.tdcautomotive.com/_175_1OTQQ.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tdcautomotive.com/_175_1OTQQ.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.tdcautomotive.com/_175_1OTQR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tdcautomotive.com/_175_1OTQR.jpg" /></a></div>One of the most popular aspects of the TR7 history is the Abingdon Works rally programme. We're often asked if there is any film of the rally cars in action and thanks to ex-Competitions Manager, Bill Price, there certainly is! Bill allowed us to use the footage he'd shot on Super 8 film which had never previously been transferred to video. This film combined with other TR7 Works rally car extracts for which we were granted permission and a wealth of historic stills make up a substantial proportion of 'Code Name: Bullet'.<br />

The TR7 designer, Harris Mann, is interviewed giving a unique insight into the requirements laid down for the new British sports car at the time of its inception. A wealth of historic images and footage helps to tell the TR7 story and we also take a close-up look at the prototype TR7 variants housed at the Heritage Centre, Gaydon. This was thanks largely to David Knowles who had arranged access to the cars for his outstanding book 'Triumph TR7 The Untold Story'. None of these proposed variants to the TR7 ever saw the light of day but help make the history of this iconic British sports car all the more interesting. <br />

PIAA Horns are a great addition to both classic and modern cars, where the existing horn just doesn't do the job. The horns were developed from PIAA's competition involvement in the Paris Dakar, where the PIAA range of products have featured on the winning cars for the last 6 years. Designed to work effectively in the most arduous conditions, they are also ultra light weight with a weather shield on the front to help prevent dirt and water getting into the horn. This is unique to PIAA. Having their own distinctive sound they operate at an attention grabbing 115db.<br />
<br />
PIAA also do this chromed version which adds a bit of bling in your bonnet:<br />
