The Triumph TR7 Sprint was a very rare 1977 version of the Triumph TR7 sports car, made by the Triumph Motor Company when it was part of British Leyland, with probably a maximum of 61 built. It used the 127 bhp, 16-valve, two-litre version of the Triumph slant-four engine from the Dolomite Sprint in place of the base TR7 105 bhp eight-valve unit, and a highly tuned form of it, rated at 225 bhp at 8000 rpm, powered the BL works rally team TR7s from 1976 to 1978. It was never a catalogued model, all factory cars were fixed-head coupes, and why it stopped is debated, with industrial action and cost both suggested.

Distinguishing features
It seems that there is no disagreement that "[a]ll [factory TR7 Sprint] cars were fixed-head coupes", that the period over which they were built spans the changeover between the 1977 and 1978 year models, and both right and left hand drive cars were produced.
