56 of the Worst Cars of All Time

26. 1975 Triumph TR7

Five years after the failure that was the Triumph Stag, Triumph delivered the TR7. Shaped like a wedge, the TR7 was just as poorly built as the Stag. The electrical system was a nightmare, with short circuits a common occurrence. The carburetors needed constant maintenance to keep the car running properly. Timing chains snapped, the roof leaked, both the oil and water pump were known to fail, and the flip up headlights refused to flip up. There was even a report of the rear axle falling off the car. The TR7 was one of the last vehicles sold by Triumph in America, and was one of the last vehicles made by the company before closing its doors in 1984.
