Assuming you mean the Triumph 2000 or 2.5PI, then No.

The 'TTH' built by Trevor Hocking was complete in 1977. Based on the chassis and mechanicals of the Truimph TR6 with some minor modifications. The body is GRP, again built by Hocking. (did the designer of the AC 300M steal the front end?)

That's the car, yes.
But there is another part to the name (and it is also known by another name).
Locked for you to provide both answers!

I've given you a point johno because you've identified the right car, but I'll only keep it locked for another 24 hours for you to complete the answers.
After that I'll have to move this puzzle up to the Masters and offer another point if someone else can complete the car's name and tell me the other name it was known by.

TTH 2.5 aka Hocking Special

Source material also calls it "TTF" once but I reckon it's a typo.
