The TR7 looks fantastic - I love the shape of them. I like that colour too.

The TR7 has gone full circle... Cool, to utterly uncool, back round again attaining retro uber cool... Lovely.

Always liked the tr7, do like yours quite a bit so shiney. Strangely i never saw one back in my spitfire days, one does however park in shirebrook near to where i live, bright yellow. Love the interiors for some strange reason.

Stunning car OP. A neighbour of ours had one new in that colour. Always fancied a FHC myself.

How did you come across such a low mileage minter?

I know its the Triumph name for the model but to my mind a drophead coupe needs more than two seats and should have a pronounced sweep to the back of the hood.

Thanks! Yes it's great to drive, especially on a warm day with the roof down. It's also easy to drive with a five speed box. It's was an under-rated car in it's day but they seem to command more respect now.
