1980 TRIUMPH TR7 / TR8 3.5 LITER ALUMINUM V8 CONVERTIBLE CLONE / TRIBUTE CAR. EZ RESTORATION OR WILL JUST MAKE SOMEONE A FUN TOY! SOMEONE HAS DONE A VERY NICE JOB! HAS THE CORRECT BADGING. THE ALUMINUM BLOCK 215ci V8 THE CORRECT 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION & REAR END (OF COURSE) AND THE CORRECT WHEELS. ACTUALLY JUST MAINLY NEEDS SOME PAINT WORK & MINOR TINKERING. IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN STORAGE FOR SOME TIME, BUT WE REPLACED THE BATTERY, CHECKED THE FLUIDS, PUT IN SOME FRESH GAS & IT STARTED RIGHT UP & RUNS GREAT! WE ALSO HAVE SINCE DRIVEN IT ON SEVERAL ERRANDS AS WELL & THE 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY, THE CLUTCH WORKS GREAT, THE BRAKES WORK WELL, ETC. WE ALWAYS SUGGEST A FRESH TUNEUP & OIL CHANGE BEFORE DRIVING CARS LONG DISTANCES. WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU ARRANGE GETTING ANY PRETRIP PREP WORK DONE AT OUR WHOLESALE COST BEFORE YOU DRIVE IT HOME. THIS IS A NICE LITTLE CAR & WILL NOT BE HARD TO FINISH THE BODY IS VERY SOLID &... ALTHOUGH IT HAS SOME SMALL DINGS & BLEMS HERE & THERE IS OVERALL VERY STRAIGHT. EVEN HAS THE ORIGINAL FACTORY FRONT SPOILER & ORIGINAL BOSCH DRIVING LIGHTS WITH THEIR ORIGINAL COVERS! FRONT END, FRONT BUMPER, FRONT SPOILER ETC. ARE OVERALL VERY NICE! THE PAINT JOB IS NOT PERFECT, BUT LOOKS VERY NICE FOR A DAILY DRIVER! MOST IMPORTANTLY IT HAS NO ADVANCED RUST PROBLEMS AT ALL! IT HAD SOME SMALL AREAS WHERE THE PAINT WAS STARTING TO BUBBLE MAINLY ALONG THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVERS SIDE. (AS SEEN IN THE PICS) ABOVE IS A VERY CLOSE "CLOSEUP" OF ONE OF THE "BIGGEST" SPOTS (APPROX 3" ACROSS) SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THE AREAS HAVE VERY MINOR WORK NEEDED TO CLEAN THEM BACK UP. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: LIKE MOST OF OUR CARS, WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR UP ON A HOIST & LOOKED IT OVER VERY THOROUGHLY & IT IS OTHERWISE COMPLETELY SOLID THROUGHOUT.
