The TR 7 is in very good condition in- and outside. The car has excellent bodywork, a beautiful paint job and a clean original interior.
The engine bay has been finished to an excellent standard and most importantly the car is structurally exceptional. It is completely rust free. To keep it that way for a long time we have completely treated it with "Mike Sanders" anti-corrosion grease .
Due to the long standing time, we have completely mechanically overhauled the car using original English spare parts. Not only all fluids have been changed, but also all wear parts such as brake pads, breakers, sparks,filters, battery, etc. have been replaced. Also the engine was also opened and checked and checked for wear. It it in very good condition. Compression is within the specs and homgogenous between all cylinders. We completley overhauled the cylinder head an refitted it with new gaskets. To ensure smooth travel we changed all front and rear shock absorbers including the springs. The interior was completely cleaned and new, original carpets were fittet.
The vehicle is in complete original condition, including a working "Pioneer" cassette/radio.
