I had the opportunity to shoot Chris’s Trumph TR7 a while ago and finally got the chance to get it up. I have to admit, this isn’t a car you see everyday – in fact, this is a car I have never seen until last year at the Driven car show. I was literally confused and delighted when he rolled in the booth because at first glance, if you don’t know Triumph, then you’re going to wonder what car this is. At second glance, you’ll know the SR20 sitting under the hood is no joke.

Chris has done most of the work himself with the help of various shops around town and the resources he could find – not everybody can help you if they don’t have many parts for it in the first place unfortunately.

Engine:

One of the best thing about Chris’s car is that it’s so light and with the SR20 powering it, there’s very little holding it back. That’s the number one thing we strive for when building our cars – weight reduction. He’s got it stock.

If you do see Chris roaming the roads, I’m sure it’s going to be something you won’t be able to take your eyes off. It is quite the sight. We also had the pleasure of having him in our DTP booth this year in Vancouver and he took home best Classic car of the night!
