It looks quite tasty. Perfect for the dog lover with the back seat.

I've alweays assumed anybody with a TR7 was a dog lover,
either mongrels or the pedigree variety!

There were 5 factory produced 2+2's on top of the Grinalls.

I remember reading that the fuel tanks on the 2+2's had to be modified / resited to accommadate the bench seat.

Was the capacity reduced on these? How far would you get on one tank with a V8?

Mine will take about 10 gallons and I usually put in £25/£30`s worth, about half a tank. It does for me (2.0L) but with a V8, and I have seen smaller tanks fitted, I guess range could be limited.[?]
