About us: We are a professional classic car enterprise, and pride ourselves on selling reliable vehicles. We will always focus on the worst aspects of our vehicles, in an effort to save disappointment, before we go onto the positive points. Do not let this detract from our, often excessive, efforts to catch and remedy any defects we come across, we do not skimp when servicing or making repairs. Unless the car is a restoration project it will leave here after a full service has been carried out and any necessary work completed.
We have many satisfied customers within Europe, several of whom drive their purchases many hundred miles to get home. We come highly recommended by several clubs and motoring organisations. When buying a car, you need to put your trust in someone, unless you are confident in your knowledge and skills. Recently purchased smart vehicles often come into our premises with many hidden major defects, and we have the unpleasant task of telling the proud new owner that their purchase is not all it seemed. We often get positive feedback, however, on how we have transformed a weary car into a pleasure to drive.
We will consider part exchanges, so contact us by phone if you want to discuss this, but remember, we have overheads, so we need some money occasionally!
Description: A 1981 Triumph TR7 convertible, from Texas, has a 2-litre fuel injection engine, which we know is running sweetly. As soon as we took this car in we refurbished the fuel injection system - fuel pump, filter, injectors, pipe-work etc., so we know this is sound. This car comes complete with newish hardtop, never painted and brand new double duck canvas soft-top hood (not yet fitted). As the interior trim, seats etc. were completely sun-drenched and trash, we have sourced a good matching green tartan interior from another fixed head British donor vehicle. The paintwork is flat and would require some serious T cutting to make it more presentable. We have inspected the whole of the underside and found it to be in good condition. The only rot about the car is in the boot, spare wheel well, quite normal if previous owners have not removed the drain grommet or kept the normal drain holes cleared (an easy weld repair required here). The car would need a full service of brake, steering, suspension and transmission (something not included in the successful bid price), an ideal home upgrade/re-commissioning project. It has an air conditioning system in the car, we have removed the drive belt here to take the load off the engine, all the AC components are free, but this too would need servicing should the new owner require it working. It does have a very nice American custom fitted boot rack, better than any British type supply, and kinky wheel trims. OK it is a TR7, never was a popular design, but it is a convertible and they do have a following out there, this one is cheap enough for a starter classic maybe! So come on, be nostalgic and make your bid.
This is a 1981 TR7 roadster that we imported from Texas ourselves. It has been dry stored since then, waiting for us to do something with it but we have run out of time. Customers keep getting in the way! A rust free example, and with the fuel injection which we have fully overhauled. If you have a rusty one, this is much cheaper than a new shell, and you get all the other bits with it. A very easy project to put on the road in it’s own right, and with a very very rare hard top. It is not registered in the UK but we have all the paperwork – import certificate, etc and all duties are paid. You are welcome to view it (unlike the others in the states you see on ebay) and we have done all the work importing it into the UK.
