Our 1979 TR-7 is in great condition inside & out as well as mechanically. At last September's Colorado English Motoring Conclave in Denver (over 500 British cars and bikes) it was awarded the Second in Class Award. At that same event it was awarded a Second Place Award from the Rocky Mountain Triumph Club at their show within a show September 2010. It has always been garaged and kept under a car cover, the cover also goes with the car. The 5-Speed Transmission and clutch have less than 2,500 miles on them. The Clutch Master Cylinder, Slave Cylinder, and K&N Air Filters have approx. 400 miles on them. The odometer reads 12,728, but according to the previous owner the speedo broke and he replaced it in 1988, a year after he purchased it. He told me it had approximately 28,000 miles on it when the speedometer broke in 1988. He sold it to me in May of 2008 with approximately 10,000 miles on the odometer; I've put the rest of the miles on it. As far as I know it has approximately 42,728 miles on her. Those are the facts as I know them. The previous owner has been in the local Triumph club with me for the last 13-14 years, so I trusted what he said when I bought the car. You can tell from the pictures that the top is less than a year old. Even at our altitude here in Colorado (6K-7K ft.) the TR-7 runs great. It will run up and down I-25 in 5th gear at 75 mph at 2800-2900 rpm's all day long. It gets 28-32 mpg on the Interstate and 20-24 mpg around town. As you can see in the pictures the body and paint are in great shape with the exception of a scratch on the left rear quarter panel (fender). It is originally a California car, there isn't any rust on the car. I bought the TR-7 from the second owner who had owned it since 1987 and always kept it covered in the garage. I've had it for 3 years and as stated above it's been garage kept and covered. Along with the excellent over all condition it only costs me $150 a year for full coverage with the collector's car insurance policy I have. The factory water chokes were replaced with manual chokes. The passenger seat is in fine shape, the drivers seat is worn on the upper left bolster (bolster closest to the drivers door), other than that it's in good shape as well. The tires have plenty of tread left on them; however, they are weather checked and should probably be replaced in the not too distant future. I've decided to leave tires up to the new owner because of personal preference, such as high performance, all season, etc. This TR-7 is one of the few 30th Anniversary SCCA 'D' Production Champion cars. Another reason to buy this great TR-7 is the fact you can drive it to the Vintage Triumph Register National Convention in Breckenridge, Colorado this August 2011 without fear of needing any work.
