What do you think?????? Dear Listers,
I am once again going to the lists for some help and ideas for my Triumph TR7/8 buyer's guide for British Car Magazine. This is what I'm looking for: Good Points - why should someone want to have a TR7, what is its appeal?? WE know that the TR8 is more in demand because of the V8 performance but what else appeals to buyers?? Bad Points - What are these car's weakness areas?? - what should potential buyers be wary of?? Any tips for finding a good one other than "bring more money?" How Cheap is Cheap?? What are complete, running, restorable cars worth?? - You know, driving restoration projects. Are TR7 coupes only good for trading in for a small cheque and polution credits??? Will any rational person actually try to restore one?? How about TR7 roadsters?? What do we know about modified TR7s?? I've recently talked to owners who are fitting everything from Rover V8s to twin turbo Nissan 300Z V6s and getting them through CA smog tests. One guy has fitted a Toyota 1600 twin-cam and 5-speed - Is the rest of the car worth the bother. My personal experience was extended use of a friend's TR8 a number of years ago when the car was fairly new - I liked the car as a driver and had no trouble with it but never warmed up to its looks - though it was plain at worst. What do you think???
