I have never been much of a collector of TR7 paperwork,
but over the years I have found or received a few interesting items. I always
had plans to scan them so their quality loss, caused by old age, could be enhanced a
bit with Photoshop. And with a few spare hours on my last working day
of the year, I was able to pull three TR7 related British Leyland posters through
the large format scanner at work.
To start with a publicity poster, as given away
by Belgian dealers in the late 70’s. In this case a poster from a TR7 Rally car
in action. Though it is a respectable size poster (868 x 598 mm) the picture quality
and resolution is a bit poor. Age didn’t help here. But an interesting poster
nevertheless!
And on the back of this poster a selection of
the British Leyland cars available in Belgium at the time. The prices are
interesting to say the least!
But the most interesting posters are these two
large (1020 x 765 mm) multi language showroom posters. They show line drawings of some of the design features of the TR7 at the
time of its introduction. So these posters probably originate from 1975 or 1976.

They will all be digitally restored over time, and prints of the last two will hopefully grace a wall in the house somewhere in the future!
