 Triumph's TR series 3 through 6 were very well received and remain
highly prized to this day. However, for some reason, the TR7 was never
liked (except by Phil) from day 1 and remained the poor relation for
decades after its launch. Only recently has there been some change in
sentiment towards it. Amazing what the passage of time can do to our
perception of a design.
 

The main trouble with the TR7 was that the original four-speed manual was made of glass.  By the time it got the much much nicer 5-speed, it was too late.
I got my '78 used, for cheap, in early '82.  It had an overheating problem and a broken temperature gauge, not a good combination.  One educational weekend spent changing the head gasket, and a bodged-in 5-speed (had to use a Frankenstein drive shaft), made it a really beautiful drive.
The TR8 was the same car with the five speed and a small V8 (originally the Buick 218 cu in), and was a good and (for English) reliable car.
