A TR7 16V Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 The generic pictures of a TR7 on the Wikipedia page are of a none standard car, certainly not in original paint - body colour sills and back panel, US bumper covers on a supposed 1975 UK car, etc. While it's clearly a nice car, and I'm sure it's owner loves it very much, I think an encyclopedia entry on the TR7 should show what Triumph intended, not someone's later take on the model. Hence, has anyone got a set of pictures - front 3/4, side, rear 3/4, etc. - of a good condition car in standard trim and one of the supplied colours? I think the car should preferably be an early one with the very big filler cap. I don't think it's important which market it is, but I can see an argument it should be US spec, as that was where the model was primarily aimed. If there's both, then I'm sure there's room. These pictures will need to be uploaded onto Wikimedia, and the copyright issues dealt with. And that's easiest if whoever took the photo uploads it. But given written leave, I can do that if necessary. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Can't help there as I only have pictures of cars with "my take" on them 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A TR7 16V Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 That's fine. Your cars to do with as you want. I wasn't implying any issue with that. Just that the initial generic pictures of the car in its encyclopedia entry should show it as it was produced. If you think I'm wrong, don't hesitate to say so.

Steve AKA vitessesteve Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I have a scans of both the 1976 UK and 1976 USA brochures if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A TR7 16V Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Quoted from vitessesteve- I have a scans of both the 1976 UK and 1976 USA brochures if that helps. The problem with those would be proving they aren't copyrighted. I think there are some rules about some time after publication. But I don't think I understand them or how to get Wikimedia to accept. Best solution is pictures we've taken, e.g. of concourse winners. The clubs might have some that they'ed allow for this purpose.
