condition - worn paint, ripped top and seats, cracked tires.
British cars being scarce around here and my only convertible being my 74
Toyota Landcruiser, I'm kind of curious about this TR7. What was wrong with
them? What are they worth? I know there was some problems of some kind but
the car did spawn a few imitations (Fiat X 1/9 and the Pontiac Fiero). >>

The TR7s with the 5-speed transmission are the better ones, I've been told.
Check out which tranny it has, and if it's a 4-speed, it is worth less than a
later 5-speed.
I like the look of the TR7 roadster. By the time it came out, British
Leyland was having quality control problems (what else is new?) so expect to
be kept busy with little stuff. It is still a head turner, but keep after
the regular maintenance.
Go to www.vtr.org for more info on all things Triumph.
