Probably but........................................

At a cost and i've tried this before once you have to do the welding to an acceptable standard and replaced body parts and a full respray plus repaired the interior and the odd bits and bobs although it pains me to say

Probably Not

Why not you ask well becuase there are still very good FHC out there that you can pick up for £1500 - £2500 that would need only minor cosmetics done and with the value of these cars the sums rarly add up and for the above to be right you could be on the 6k side of things and more

As an enthusiasts of these cars most of us would of spent that or more i know but for anyone starting out i still would say probably not

The sad truth John and the reason why so many TRs are now heading to the bif parts bin in the sky I reckon. Last count the DVLA had 3000 on the books either SORN or taxed in the UK. Considering in excess of 100,000 were made that is a huge attrition rate!!! [:(]

Don't forget 9 out of ten TR7's went to export. 10% of these to California alone. (California had their own letter assigned in the VIN. partly because of unique emissions requirements and part because of shear volume). By that reckoning only 11,000+ where sold in UK. That would make it about 1/4 still registered.
