1981 Triumph TR7 For Restoration For Sale

I bought this last year with the intention to restore it, but I just haven't had the time to do it unfortunately. I put it into storage last year, spraying it in red oxide before I did, hoping that I would get around to it this year, but it's hasn't looked promising. I have now bought a car that is on the road, so I'm now offering this restoration car for sale.

The car itself is a 1981 2. 0 DHC. It does run and drive.

I would recommend that new sills and strengtheners are fitted at the minimum. Everything else depends how far you want to go with it, however, I would say that every panel has filler in it somewhere. The spare wheel well is holed, as can be seen in the pictures. The bonnet has corrosion at the front, possibly to the extent of requiring a replacement bonnet.

The interior is tidy and usable.

The engine has an oil leak and requires a water pump. There are no knocks or rattles when its running, however, I never gapped the points correctly when I fitted them, so it does run rough.

The roof requires replacing.

I have more pictures if you require some, or if you wish me to take pictures of certain areas, please let me know.

Obviously the car will need collecting on a trailer or low loader. There's easy access for either.

This car does need work. If you are wanting something that will be on the road in a week or so, please look at something else. However, if you want something for the shows next year and have the time available to work on this car, then this car could be the one for you.

Collection from the YO24 area of York
