Summary edit

Description

1978 Triumph Lynx Prototype

When Triumph began to design the TR7, they intended to include a fastback coupe version which was code-named 'Lynx'. The Lynx concept kept changing and it ran well behind the TR7 which was launched in 1975. This car is thought to be the last of 18 Lynx prototypes and the only survivor.

The Lynx had a lengthened wheelbase allowing rear seats to be fitted and the TR7 panels were restyled to give different side feature lines. It was fitted with the Rover V8 engine and this particular car has Lucas electronic fuel injection.

The Lynx was seen as a successor to the Triumph Stag which had been discontinued in 1977. But as the 1970s drew to a close, British Leyland were coming to the conclusion that they should withdraw from the field of sports cars and the Lynx was shelved, though some elements re-emerged in the final Triumph sports car project, the 'Broadside' of 1979/80.
