Why would anyone want a TR7? Unless it's one of the Grinnell
modified-to-TR8 spec ones?

Don't like the look of TR8s. Dunno why but I've always liked the look
of a TR7. My plan is to get a 500 or so quid 1 yrs MOT TR7 run it
until it will MOT no more (I would guess the following month :-) ).

Obvious typo fixed... ;-)

Having been brought up on a diet of TR3's, 4's and 6's I hated the 7
when it came out... cobbled-together box of bits from Speke which
rattled, leaked and was slower than a spit MGB...

In other words, a Classic British sports car of the seventies!

A mate of mine has a Grinnell TR7 V8 conversion... awesome!

ISWYM, my view on it is that a late 70's early 80's car in good nick
on the road has either a) never been run b) been fully restored/faults
fixed c) has been a time bomb for the last 10 years.

If I can avoid c and preferably get b then I will be happy.

I was offered a yellow Spitfire for free last night, garaged with a
cover over it. Unfortunatly the reason its been garaged and covered is
that the engine last turned over 14 years ago and the foot wells need
replacing :-(

And even infinitely better if you increase the vertical size such that it
becomes standard format again.

hehehehehe - couldn't believe a few honestly replied with answers. The

debating about replying - it probably still irks him yet that he didn't.

Don't bother! A quick google has revealed the rather dull truth.
