Do I ever learn? Bought ANOTHER car ....
Discussion
So, I've gone and bought another car ...
Another example of 1970's British Leylands finest, a Triumph TR7 Coupe. To add to my fleet of 1984 Porsche 944, 1976 Factory MGB GT V8 and a 1966 MGB Roadster.
It didn't cost a lot of money was quite fun to drive (as fun as a test drive gets) and will be improved but is fundimentally very solid indeed.
Pics to follow when I pick it up on Thursday.
Perhaps I ought to keep updating this thread with all the cars I buy

Cool. What year is it and does it have a sunroof? Non sunroof FHC's are rare now.Another example of 1970's British Leylands finest, a Triumph TR7 Coupe. To add to my fleet of 1984 Porsche 944, 1976 Factory MGB GT V8 and a 1966 MGB Roadster.

This is my TR7, its actually my 2nd. Had this one since Jan 2001. This ones a 1977 (previous one was a 76). Although it's not really factory standard now. 220-230hp 3.5 RV8 and one or two other mods.
Can't wait to see some pics

It's a 1977 and yes, it has a glass sunroof. This is my TR7, its actually my 2nd. Had this one since Jan 2001. This ones a 1977 (previous one was a 76). Although it's not really factory standard now. 220-230hp 3.5 RV8 and one or two other mods.
It's a very original car, will post pics when we've picked the car up.I've drove a Rover V8 converted TR7 before, good fun but the one I drove was not very well set up! 220-230bhp out of a RV8, you must have been up to something on that too?
Your's looks nice, are they MGF / TF alloys it's got?

Yeah one or two bits. Look up SAH and Triumph Tune. Although these days it's largely S&S Performance and Rimmers.

Yep MGF alloys. They just need a small amount milling which you can do with a Dremal or similar and they fit right on. Mike Satur does some wheel adapters so you can run many other alloy pcd's.
