The TR7 V8 was homologated for international rallying on April 1, 1978 and hopes were high. However, a last minute decision not to disconnect the cable handbrake in favour of the hydraulic one meant that Pond lost time on day 1 when the mechanism jammed in a wheel. Thereafter, Pond, the one driver who really came to terms with the 300bhp TR7 V8, stormed back though the field to finish 4th, the highest placed non Ford Escort – a great drive in rallying history.
