1981 Triumph TR7 DHC review from UK and Ireland
"Amazing cheap fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch failed after one month of ownership.
Rust has started to come though on the front wheel arch.
General comments?
Converted to full TR8 specification by S&S preparations in 1997.
Lovely colour - Bordeaux Red with tan interior.
It's very loud, with twin stainless steel exhausts.
I keep forgetting to put my foot all the way down, when I do - whoosh.
