1980 Triumph TR7 dhc review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust, rust, rust.
Inadequate maintenance by Previous Owner meant that the gearbox needed replacing. Electrics can be erratic if you do not periodically check out connections.
General comments?
Lots of scope for modernisation. Easily available electronic ignition and suspension improvements bring it to the 90s. New panels etc are cheap & common so rust is not such a problem.
Expect to spend a little but often on maintenance.
Good fun at a low price.
