THE FINE PRINT:*A $500 Paypal deposit is required within 24 hours of auction close, the balance to be paid in cash. Unless previous araingements are made, car must be picked up and fully paid for within 7 days of end of auction. I can store car in a secure, dry garage for a reasonable amount of time if necessary. Car is naturally sold as-is, but guaranteed to be as described. This TR7 is a beautiful car - but remember, it's 36 years old. It was professionally built, runs absolutely excellent, is driven daily, and a joy to drive. Take it to a car show or a meet, it always draws a crowd. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it cross country tomorrow, but a 100 point show winner, it's not. Some may say it looks better in real life than in the pictures, others may not. There will always be minor items that need attention, especially being a British car. But if you are looking for a great driver, a one of a kind head turner that's a blast to drive, you may have found it- I've owned 100's of cars in my 60+ years, this has got to be one of the most fun-to-drive cars I've ever had!

SORRY FOR NOT MENTIONING THIS IN THE DESCRIPTION.On Aug-29-12 at 04:12:14 PDT, seller added the following information: Just a little more info: This Triumph is really ready to go. It just (and I mean 150 miles ago) had an oil and filter change, DuraLube treatment in the oil, 6 new sparkplugs, and a full ($200) transmission service, which included a trans fluid flush (not just a drain, but a power flush), new trans filter, pan gasket, premium fluid, and Lucas trans treatment. One of the exhaust manifold to header gaskets had a tiny leak, it was replaced. Also a recent water pump, full coolant flush and new coolant. Universal joints were greased (they are in fine shape), and while on the lift, the entire exhaust system was checked and re-aligned for no rattles. There's also a brand new electric fuel pump and filter. Ignition timing was carefully set for best performance and smoothest overall running. The car runs cool even on 100 degree days, never any coolant loss or temperature issues. Oil pressure is perfect. As you may have gathered by now, the car has been really attended to. I've been around these types of cars as a hobby for nearly 50 years, this was never a car I intended to "flip", but rather my personal driver, and I treated it accordingly. Only after I found this baby did I make the hard decision to offer my TR7: (not included in this auction...) Thanks for looking and please ask questions!!! (and by the way, my reserve is VERY reasonable.) Pete
