Best of luck with the restoration. You must have balls the size of space hoppers!
Still, not quite as far gone as this one.

Not sure if before or afterwards, but Chris Humberstone who designed the Forte, worked on narrowing the TR7 so it could be used in Bahamas.
One for PH sleuths. Apparently the car was displayed during the period of the 1980 British GP at Brands Hatch outside the Grovewood Suite and driven on a parade lap on GP day by Mark Thatcher. Cannot find any evidence this actually happened.

Reading other bits and pieces on the internet, it says they favoured the XJ to give more room for passengers.
It looks like Alexander Patrick of The Patrick Group bought the remains of the fledgling business and commissioned an Estate car conversion from one of the convertibles due to it being too complicated to get right.
I think that one is in a collection somewhere as it was at auction a few years ago.
Another estate was lost at a banger race, but it looks like it could have been one of the unfinished spare shells, as it was bought without running gear and had a different front end,
Here are some of the photos from previous links.
