Here is one of my toys, it a TR7v8 with a 4.0 v8 out of a Chimaera.
The body-kit was fitted when the car was sent to Grinnall cars for the
v8 conversion in the late 80s. Spec includes fuel inj, lsd, power steering,
front brakes 310mm drilled and vented discs with brembo calipers, rear axle
converted to disc brakes 276mm drilled groved and vented with cosworth calipers. Wheels are BMW 17" multispokes with 245/35 at the back and 225/35 up front, single box exhaust (sounds good)




My other toy is a 1997 mini cooper in volcano red, it is kinda standard
apart from clear rear lights, twin exhaust, wavy front grill, and led angel eyes in orange, and 7/13 super lights.


Every day cars for me and the mrs are next
BMW X5 3.0i with 20" wheels

BMW MINI COOPER

All the best Billy

Love that Triumph !! Looks good and the rollbar rally suits it too. Are the front arches flared out or is that standard ??

The TR7/8 is a stunner!
How much does it owe you to get it to that standard?
