77 TR7
Re: 77 TR7
Very happy with the price I got for it, in fact I made a bob or two
I was planning on buying a 2+2 E type as I want something I can get my lads involved with as well but I've decided to go for something more mainstream and practical so I've narrowed it down to either a 3 litre or early 4 speed 2.8i Capri, an RS2000 or a Stag.
I think the MGF will be next up for sale, if anyone wants a excellent, early MG then this could be the car for you. I'm looking for offers around £1,200 for it which a know is top ceiling for one of these but its really a very good example and you would spend far more than that reconditioning a dog for £600

Re: 77 TR7
Same reason I'm thinking of parting with it.
Re: 77 TR7
its why mr 2 had to go too...apart from the fact i was skint...
Re: 77 TR7
Here is the new motor finally. I decided to go against a E-Type, Stag, Capri or RS2000.
In fact you can argue its not a classic at all but my little lads love it and that's all that counts

Nowt wrong with a sports car that's no harder to live with than a Beetle, good choice. I've only owned one Porsche, a 1979 911 Targa, and that would go anywhere including onto the beach and - at the other end of the autumn - through snow that even my Peugeot 305 estate used to baulk at.

Thanks, I'm pretty pleased with it. These later cars have a deserved reputation for lunching their engines but the previous owner of this car was savvy enough to have a Porsche maintenance contract on it. 8,000 miles ago the intermediate shaft bearing failed smashing the engine up and Porsche were forced to fit a brand new factory unit to it, this is the only reason I bought it and all for less than the price of a good Stag or RS2000
Re: 77 TR7
I will have a 911 one day, love them
Your car looks superb, no wonder your boys are pleased

I bet he cheered, and the dealer / Porsche UK cried buckets. I dread to think what the bill would have been otherwise.motman wrote:Thanks, I'm pretty pleased with it.

Still his (and your) gain
Landrovers and Welding go together like Bread and Butter. And in the wet they are about as structurally sound
