One of the more understated offerings on the net.
"this car is great comes with a full service history" <font color="red">Right up to the moment it was parked up back in.......</font id="red">
"anything thats been done is recorded" <font color="red">Anything that needs to be done is left to your imagination.</font id="red">
"just needs a respray" <font color="red">I don't want to frighten off the bidders</font id="red">
"not many left" <font color="red">Don't ask for an engine bay photo</font id="red">
A bit more information would probably get a more positive response but i'm being harsh. It's obviously not in pristine condition from the limited photos.

Ruddy,
Makes you wonder what the engine bay and underneath is like but what always get me is when people put TR7 on ebay. They most end up saying its DHC and not a FHC. This could end with the selling face and no sale / negative feedback.

Blimey, makes you wonder why they would put a reserve on it, prob worried it might only go for the asking price else!

Ruddy,
Just back to a Ebay item been a DHC but really a FHC, I have spotted this one, but to fair not saying anything about restoration.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1982-TRIUMPH-TR7- ... 240%3A1318
Also no engine bay picture most likely full of weeds / maybe a engine.

The Black FHC has a Y reg and a late Solihull badge - but a single bulge bonnet covering unkown ??? The trouble with most cars like that is the parts you need are also the ones that the potential donor needs!
