Between 1953 and 1980 the Triumph competitions department produced more than 150 'works' competition cars for race and rally. These included TR2, TR3 and TR3A, the TR3S, TRS and Conrero race cars, Herald and Vitesse, TR4, 2000, Spitfire and GT6R, 2.5 PI, Dolomite and Sprint, TR7 and TR7 V8. In addition they prepared Standard Eight, Ten, Pennant, and Phase III Vanguard for competition From Scalextric, we have had Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Fords, BMWs, Austins, VWs, Lotus, Mclaren, Williams and Renaults -but not one, single TRIUMPH! The last one was the TR7 in Sprint and V8 formats back in the 80s - and before that a TR4 in the 60s. Come on Scalextric, please can we have the TR7V8 - at least? I will admit to a slight bias here as I do actually own and run a TR7V8 - at a humble 155BHP, not the 300BHP monster run by the likes of Tony Pond!
