As a TR7 Sprint 5-speed FHC previous owner (UYA 540R - gone to scrap now) I'd say that view is about right, under-powered in basic spec, the Triumph Dolomite Sprint (127 BHP ?) engine should have been the standard fit with some fuel injection. I'm not sure if mine was a factory original Sprint but I remember buying it for £600 in 1988 off a girlfriends brother when the big ends were knocking! Spent far too much on it and sold it to a 'mate' for £200, he still owes me £100 . It had a Janspeed exhaust manifold, some Recarro seats that didn't tilt. The bumpers were plastic covered iron girders (I remember taking the front one off a good 60Ib ) which did nothing for the weight of the car (US regs were misunderstood) UK cars were still fitted with these heavyweight bumpers
