The Triumph taking on the Escort Mk2 hordes on the UK’s toughest rally
A week ago, Chris Ingram, one of Britain’s top rally drivers, had the opportunity to test drive the Triumph TR7 V8, a rally car from the 1970s. Impressed by the machine, Ingram eagerly prepared to participate in the five-day Roger Albert Clark Rally, a challenging event that brings back the spirit of the RAC Rallies of the past. Unlike his competitors, who were driving Ford Escort Mk2s, Ingram was in a newly finished TR7 V8 from David Appleby Engineering, a true work of art built to period specification. Appleby painstakingly recreated the car using an ex-Pond machine as a reference, remanufacturing most parts. The attention to detail and quality of engineering on this project is outstanding. After discussions in the spring, Ingram was chosen as the driver for this exceptional car.
