Description
Good usable TR7 Convertible from 35 year family ownership showing just
28,999 miles believed genuine, driven to the sale with a years clean MOT and
some choice upgrades fitted inc Rimmer Bros 4-pot brakes, Koni dampers and
stainless exhaust
Dating from June 1980 this
later model Triumph TR7 comes to us in Roadster form and is finished in light
green with black vinyl hood and sits upon a set of period 13” Compomotive
four-stud X-spoke alloy wheels.
Under the
bonnet, we find the typical 1,998cc four-cylinder engine similar to that found
in the Dolomite but enlarged to 2.0 and fitted with larger carbs to give 105bhp
and 161NM of torque with drive going to the rear wheels via five-speed manual
transmission.
Inside, we find a blue vinyl
interior with checker sections, electric windows, Kenlow fan switch and
additional oil pressure gauge.
The car shows
28,999 miles which we believe to be genuine and generally looks well bar a
few signs of age/wear to the vinyl roof and minor marks to the body as
pictured but started and ran as it should as we moved it around for these images
and video.
The history file includes the V5C
showing just three former keepers to our vendor, who has enjoyed the car since
July 2015 after taking it over from her father who purchased the car in
1988. We gather he then spent the next 12 years improving the car, doing
very little mileage. An insurance valution on file shows the car to have
covered just 24,223 miles in 1999 with little being covered until the car passed
to his daughter, our vendor in 2015 who continued to use the car rather
sparingly - covering but a smattering of miles, less then 900 in fact
during her tenure.
The history file also includes a copy old V5C, an old
insurance valuation dated 1999, the owner's manual, six old MOTs, the current
MOT valid until July 2024 with no advisories recorded, a bill for an annual
service inc. spark plugs in August 2021 at 28,892 miles and a note from the
vendor's father (the former keeper) detailing the upgraded parts
fitted to the car including Rimmer Bros. stainless steel sports exhaust and
manifold, Rimmer Bros 4pot uprated brakes, Koni dampers and firmer springs,
Kenlow fan, electronic ignition, Halogen headlights and roll over
bar.
Ready to be enjoyed, this looked like a
low use, low mileage example with some choice upgrades and good value at
the guide price.
