Has anyone ever seen an "exceptional unrestored" MGB? I doubt it.

Come to think of it, his restoration photo book showed his car started as a real rust bucket. He said he spent $300 on nuts bolts and screws alone. Must have burned his butt to see a rust free TR7 with over 87,000 miles on it.

In a recent 6 month long readers vote in “PRACTICAL CLASSICSâ€￾ magazine the readers voted the TR7 in the top ten of 100 best classics, the highest placed TR.

Ive had similar experiences, always seems to be young ones pointing and saying wow!

I saw my friend this morning with her little boy who is 2 and a half. I flipped the lights and he laughed so hard. By the time I had done it a couple of times he was in that fabulous toddler state of hysterical laughter. He loved it!

Made me laugh a lot as well [:D]
