Our Michelle (Birdseye) has created this lovely vibrant poster of a early TR7 coupe. This will be a limited print run of only ten copies,and is available on a first come first served basis. I hope to be bringing them along to Stoneleigh this Sunday,as long as we get them back from the printers in time that is. If anyone would like one please just ask.

TR7 Sprint SJW 530S on the road for the 1st time since 1984
TR7 Sprint SJW 539S
Well, the car needs a chrome AMCO luggage rack on the trunk, the U.S. Dealer side stripes, and the stainless steel wheel trim rings. Put these items on and you'll have what my car looks like.
Then you'll need to roll 165,000 miles on the odometer, a left hand steering wheel, and enough spare parts tucked into every nook and cranny to keep the car fixed for the next five years. Oh, and a full tool box.
BMW owns the Triumph name and it's symbols (like the laurel leaf and have been aggressive in it's unauthorized use (presumably when the legal department got bored) which had the rumour department saying they were bringing back the marque. I don't think they can put any claims on the TR7 moniker as it is used on the Triumph motorcycle models (which they don't own) and on radio equipment (which annoyingly shows up on TR7 eBay searches unless you minus it out). I don't know if they can own the image of the car that is so long out of production if at all. Regardless they would not be concerned about low hanging fruit or they would need a larger legal department.
Hi Roy
I can't make it to Stoneleigh any chance you could save one till Billing or even post one to me, ill put extra in the charity pot say £20 plus postage
Gaz,I will be more than happy to post one for you. Your offer is very much appreciated.
Paul, I'll see you Sunday mate.
It seems our friends from the other side of the pond are far more enthuiastic than we are over here. I've had quite a few emails asking for one to be shipped over.[:)]
