1981 Triumph TR7 FHC review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Classic cars or cars approaching 20yrs of age can require severe maintenance, dependant upon general condition via former ownerships. Sadly few people seem able to maintain a vehicle in pristine condition, and cars of this age can reflect that. However, treat your TR7 well and it will reward you.
General comments?
A classic British sports car. Must be driven to be appreciated. Once experienced you'll feel the need to own one, or several. A 3.5 L - 5.0 L V8 option is an available (and exciting) upgrade. Excellent investment potential for the next 10 - 20 yrs. A driver's car, anything but disposable transport - please.
