The Harris Mann-penned TR7 was a major departure from the original TR line. Its overtly wedge-shaped monocoque body was initially only available in Coupe guise, the Convertible variant not being launched until 1980. Power came from a front-mounted 1998cc four-cylinder engine that was effectively an 8-valve version of the proven Dolomite Sprint unit. Its output was 105bhp, which was enough to accelerate the newcomer to 60mph in 9.6 seconds and on to a terminal speed of some 112mph. The powerplant initially drove through a four-speed manual gearbox, though by 1976 this had been replaced with a five-speed one. The suspension was by MacPherson struts and coil springs at the front and a live axle and coil springs at the rear, while braking was by discs/drums and steering by rack and pinion.

A Tribute to the Works TR7 driven in anger by Tony Pond in the late 1970s, 'ORV 530S' has been in current ownership since 2016 and is fitted with the 3.5L Rover V8 engine mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, having started life as an automatic. The specification includes a stainless-steel exhaust system, tubular manifold and aluminium radiator. The subject of an engine overhaul in 2017, money was spent in May 2024 that encompassed an oil change. Being offered with a V5C Registration Document, there is an original owner's wallet, handbook and stamped service book, a collection of old MOTs and invoices along with an MOT into May 2025.
