A friend built this mk1 GT. It's pretty much one of the cleanest mk1s you will find.

That's lovely Jonnybee. Clean install of the Zetec engine too.

Funny you mention the Alfa Sud Greenarrow as that was the car my Mum and Step Dad owned before they bought the RS2000 I now have. It was a lovely car (our first brand new car too in 1978), though some teething problems with the engine, so my Mum ended up having a succession of different Alfa Suds while they sorted hers out. She ended up running in about 3-4 different ones I think, including a bright green Ti with a big white Alfa logo on the bonnet...not very subtle even for the 1970s.

Imagine being able to go to that car park in your photo today and drive the TR7 convertible, 205GTi or the RS2000 presumably in almost new condition.

Yep, certainly the 205 ( 105bhp version )was almost new - picture was 1986 . TR had the V8 in rather than the 4-pot
