for sale

Price: US $6,950.00
FIRST IN CLASS AT JULY ALL-BRITISH SHOW. SEE LAST PHOTO. 97 F DEGREES AND A COMFORTABLE DRIVE.
ABOUT THE CAR:
+ Amazingly comfortable and loads of legroom
+ Two-owner car. It
was never abandoned or left outside for ages.
+ It has no rust and never did.
+ There is no rust in the gas tank and there never was.
+ I've owned it about five years and have driven it about 6, 000
miles. Runs super.
+ Need a project car? This is NOT for you.
THE TR7s IN GENERAL :
+ The TR7 was British Leland's best selling Triumph TR sports car.
+ Few folks know that a GOOD TR7 coupe is a super road car. Great handling, but more compliant with coil rear suspension.
+ TR7s had heavy steering parked and at low speed. I fixed that.
Someday
folks will realize what a great car the TR7s are and the prices for good ones
like this will double.
This
exceptional coupe can run Interstates all day long in 5th gear manual overdrive
in Air Conditioned comfort. And I
have. Try that in an MGB! It corners flatly with very good grip. The upgrades which have been done to this car
are too numerous to list, but a few highlights are:
1. Power steering (not available as a factory
option on these cars) with adjustable boost control from the driver's seat.
2. Complete engine rebuild at approx. 48, 000
miles, including clutch.
3. Engine
upgraded to UK/Euro specs - more power.
4. All new brake hydraulics.
5. New shocks all around and new front springs.
6. New windshield (couldn't stand the pitting).
7. New driveshaft.
I
have approx. $6, 000 in receipts for new parts.
This
car has been a consistent trophy winner at British car shows. (Last show was July 23)
I
strongly urge an inspection and test drive, either by the buyer or a qualified
representative.
