Triumph TR7 Special Editions

Little is known of the first two. Ate Up With Motor, the one source read that dates them, records a regional Southern Skies package and a Victory Edition, "commemorating the TR7's achievements on the racetrack", both in the middle of 1976; it does not say which achievements, or how either car differed from the ordinary coupé. The TR Drivers Club's article on the Jubilee mentioned a Victory Edition then being restored in Britain. No source read gives figures for either.

The Spider, a 1980 model-year car for America, came from Solihull, which began making TR7s on 1 April 1980. Michael Hart counted its build cards in the archive at Gaydon and published his count in the Triumph Wedge Owners Association's newsletter, and it is the only count from the factory's own cards among the sources read: the Spiders' VINs ran from 400301 to 401918, and the first 300 cars Solihull built before them were not Spiders. All were left-hand-drive five-speed convertibles, and, in his count, 548 fuel-injected for California, from the first, number 401225, on 1 July 1980. Of the cards, 20 were missing, and a note on his own page gives a slightly lower possible total that does not fit his table. Its black paint was PCF in the owners' association's paint research, which the TR Drivers Club reports. Wikipedia, citing Hart, adds the red reflective stripes and badging, a grey striped upholstery and the TR8's alloy wheels and steering wheel.⁠source 2​source 4​source 3​source 5

What the sources read say of the Premium comes from the TR Drivers Club: the club knew of several, and the owners' association's paint research it reports gives the Premium's paint as PMA. No source read gives its date, its market or what it included.

The "Jubilee" is a different matter. The only printed reference the TR Drivers Club knows of is a caption in a Triumph Pocket Guide of the mid-1980s, which it quotes, beside a photograph that William Kimberley's book of 1981 also printed:

Nobody the club asked at Triumph remembered such a car. The rest of the evidence is circumstantial: a third black paint code, PAG; two black cars in one registration series; a white 1977 car with its first owner's initials on the door handles; and a 1977 brochure offering initials on the doors. The club concluded that the "Jubilee" may simply have been a 1977 car with the owner's initials on the door handles, but thought it most likely that there was a Jubilee: silver stripes offered for the Queen's Silver Jubilee, with the option of a black paint of its own.

In 1977, and it seems into 1978, a few demonstrators were painted to look like the works rally cars, the TR Drivers Club writes, and lent out for 48 hours at a time on a "try before you buy" scheme. They are often mistaken for Jubilees. The works cars themselves are on rallying and the notable cars.⁠source 3
