A complete break from the TRs before it: a wedge-shaped two-seater styled by Harris Mann, launched in 1975 with a four-cylinder engine and, at first, only a fixed roof. A convertible came in 1979. Build quality troubles and strikes dogged it, but it outsold every earlier TR before production ended in 1981.
