Triumph TR7 - Exceptional Condition, Significant Recent Investment - A Rare Classic

"Presenting a truly remarkable example of the iconic Triumph TR7, a classic sports car that has matured into a highly prized and increasingly rare. This TR7, designed by Harris Mann, embodies the distinctive "wedge" shape and sweeping swage line that defined the era, a testament to the "shape of things to come."

Unlike many classics that can disappoint upon closer inspection, this TR7 stands out for its exceptional quality and meticulous upkeep. The car has undergone significant recent expenditure, resulting in a vehicle that is a credit to its previous owners.

The bodyshell is in outstanding condition, with the owner indicating a replacement shell has been fitted, leaving no trace of corrosion. The underside is equally impressive, displaying a remarkably straight and solid structure. The vibrant Red paintwork highlights the car's striking lines and classic appeal.

Mechanically, this TR7 has been thoroughly overhauled. The engine, gearbox, and rear axle have all been replaced or refurbished, ensuring reliable performance. With only 58, 720 miles showing, supported by old MOT certificates, owners handbook and sales brochures, this car's history is well-documented. Recently, it successfully completed a 2, 000-mile road trip through France, demonstrating its roadworthiness and dependability.
