Never Was: Triumph TR7 Tracer

Another "never was", as far as I can tell. If you have more info on this, please let me know. There couldn't have been more than a very few ever produced by the coachbuilder that created them.

    Well, if you believe that Google thing:

    "In 1976/7 Page Motors, a Triumph dealer in Epsom, Surrey approached Crayford to convert a TR7 coupe into an estate car similar to the Scimitar GTE etc. When completed the car featured an extended roof, upright tailgate and lengthened loadspace. The car was finished in red with a black vinyl roof incorporating the factory sunroof. The interior was altered to form a 2+2 arrangement although it was retrimmed in its original red check It had standard mechanicals but was fitted with Wolfrace alloy wheels and uprated shock absorbers.

    The car in the pictures belongs to fellow enthusiast Mike Collins and is probably the only survivor of the 2 cars built; it was registered as TPE 944S in Guildford Surrey during August 1977. It is now in Switzerland with its owner."

      Thanks, Bobinott! And there's our (most likely correct) answer; two were built.
