The Second One

What's more fun than a TR7?

[More:]

A TR7 with a V8 engine, of course! This is my second TR7, a 1980 DHC, fitted some years ago with a Rover V8.

Now during the winter mine has been in to the menders for a bit of bodywork. When I last saw her she looked like this:

Any day now she will be transferred to the local garage for a brake overhaul, including an uprated master cylinder/servo that I got off eBay for a very reasonable price, and then the MOT.

Barring any unforeseen problems she will be home in a couple of weeks then we pray for dry weather (& just a bit warmer!). I have only driven the car about 250 miles since purchase at the end of last year, so I am really looking forward to putting a few more miles on!

I'll post some pix of the finished overhaul - I am promised that she looks great!

I loved it. It made the car unique in a world that sees many modified V8 engined TR7s.

Tony's Weblog

Welcome to my weblog. I am lucky enough to have a very original TR7 2.0l FHC, and a very unoriginal 3.5l V8 TR7 DHC. Read how I came to be in this predicament here!
