I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS 1980 TRIUMPH TR-8. THE MILEAGE OF 139,001 IS VERY WELL BELOW AVERAGE. I'VE OWNED THIS CAR FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 YEARS AND DROVE IT LIMITED MILES. THE V-8 ENGINE, 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION, AND DIFFERENTIAL HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN GOOD CONDITION. THE CAR STARTS AND RUNS FINE. THE DUAL STROMBERG 175 CD CARBS HAVE BEEN REBUILT. I HAVE INSTALLED A HOLLY ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP AND PRESSURE REGULATOR. THE TIRES ARE EXCELLENT WITH ORIGINAL ALLOY WHEELS. A NEW TOP AND BOOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED FROM VICTORIA BRITISH. THE BODY IS CURRENTLY MOSTLY GREY PRIMER BECAUSE OF PREP FOR PAINT (NOT COMPLETED). NEW DUAL EXHAUST. THE CLUTCH IS IN GOOD REPAIR, BUT CURRENTLY INOPERABLE BECAUSE LINKAGE DISCONNECT FROM SLAVE CYLINDER PUSH ROD TO CLUTCH LEVER. TRANSMISSION MUST BE PULLED TO RECONNECT LEVER TO CLUTCH. THIS IS STRICTLY A LABOR JOB. I LEARNED THERE WAS DAMAGE TO BODY (REFLECTED ON TITLE), BUT BODY IS NOW SOUND. THE ONLY OTHER ITEM IS STEERING RACK THAT NEEDS TO BE FREED UP TO MAKE FOR EASIER STEERING (POWER STEERING PUMP SEEMS TO BE O.K. AND DOES NOT LEAK). THERE IS A LITTLE OIL DRIP LIKE MOST BRITISH ENGINES (STRONG ENGINE, NO SMOKE)! INCLUDED ARE OWNERS MANUAL AND FACTORY REPAIR MANUAL. BUYER TO TRANSPORT CAR AFTER PURCHASE.
