This was one of the exhibits at the Northern Classic Car Show in the G-Mex Exhibition Centre in Manchester in August 1993, and was probably on the stand of one of the five Triumph car clubs that took part.
It's a 1977 Triumph TR7 V8 in the colours of the British Leyland rally cars from that period. The Triumph TR7 was introduced in 1975 with a 4-cylinder inline engine of 1,998cc that was based on the Triumph Dolomite 1850 engine. British Leyland used this as a rally car in 1976 with a 16-valve engine from a Triumph Dolomite Sprint, and later switched to the 3,528cc Rover V8 engine that was derived from the Buick/Oldsmobile General Motors unit. The road-going version of the rally car was brought into production in 1978 as the Triumph TR8.
