Submitted by: Barbara DunnGarlick, Robert
I was there during the development of the TR7, code named Bullet. The body style was not the one submitted by Triumph styling but was by Harris Mann of Longbridge and chosen by the powers that were of the Leyland group.
From our office we observed the viewing and photography of scale models on the grass.
I'm sure others will also recall prototypes of the Lynx Fastback TR7, the Broadside four-seater TR7, and the almost into production Fastback Stag. Sadly for financial reasons these cars were never to be.

Goodwin, Alan
I was transferred from Rover to Triumph as an apprentice when Rover Triumph were combined in about 1973. I believe myself and Roy Jolly were the first 2 to move between the companies. I worked in engineering on TR7 European spec car at Fletchnorth and went on to become a chassis development engineer and later working in press cars for many years with Martin Cox and Mike Brooks. Later went on to manage the Preparation of Fleet Demonstrators. Roy was on the drawing board and went on to show great engineering expertise in engine design at Canley, Longbridge and BMW. I left in 1988 after being seconded to ARCONA (Austin Rover North America) and went on to continue to manage the preparation of company cars and demonstrators when the operation was outsourced and based at Baginton and later Lawford Heath, Rugby.

Gould, Christopher
I started from school at 15 in 1960 as a trainee in the body shop, my foreman was a very nice man named Charlie Fisher. Shortly after we moved to a body shop at Torrington Ave in Tile hill. After about 5 years I moved to 15 shop, then I moved to the paint shop on inspection. My last move was to the final finish, I left in 1978 to pursue other interests. My first car in 1962 was a herald coupe in grey and white, I have many happy memories in that car. I find your web site very interesting.
