1979 Triumph TR7 2.0

Summary:

Coolest thing created in the UK

Faults:

Number 2 plug and lead shot. Needs new shockers and bushes all round & carbies rebuilt.

General Comments:

I wanted one of these since I was about 15.

I love the look of these cars. Think 1970's rock god. I fully expected that when I first started it up it would automagically grow me sideburns, crank up Led Zep on the radio and take me to the great ocean road at great haste.

A pleasure to drive.

1981 Triumph TR7 FHC 2.0 petrol

Faults:

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.

Don't forget the 16v option, I have one, it was cheaper than an 8 and it still goes like hell!
