Hi all. New the Triumph World. Just acquired a super low mileage TR7. 710 miles to be exact. The car is pretty close to being new. If there is anything you need documented off it, or any type of reference, don't hesitate to ask. Here's the link with a couple of photos. I should have the car down in NJ by the end of the month. Contingent upon the weather.
I'll try to upload the rest of the photos to photobucket later this week in case your interested in seeing more.

Thanks, Tod
 
Thanks! Definitely will drive it a bit, once it's gone over again. Ross, soon as they dump more salt on the road :highly_amused:.
 
Nice find, wonder if there are any out there with fewer miles, my brother bought a 79 convertible new, but he put a lot more miles on his than yours has.
 
I put that many miles on my TR7 in the first 2 weeks I owned mine =D

Beautifully preserved car! The wedge gets a lot of flack, but taken care of they're actually a very nice and comfortable car to drive
 
Welcome, fellow wedgehead.
 
Over the years, to quote Alan Lerner "I've grown accustomed to her face". The shape is starting to grow on me, the tartan interior is very quirky, but I love it. Kinda curious how the hydraulics and fuel systems are after sitting so long. Have a good time.
 
I really enjoyed my TR8, and thought I'd never let it go. Must admit that I kinda miss it, but glad I had it for a while.

Tod - your 7 is a showpiece. Keep us informed on your experience with it.

:cheers:

Thanks again for the welcome and compliments on the car. Just waiting on the winter to end so I can bring her down. Keeping my finger's crossed that all I have to do fuel related, is drain and flush the tank again with out having to drop it, and replace all the fuel lines. Do you guys upgrade the fuel system to ethanol compliant lines or go with oem?
Oh regarding the originality on the car, I've come to find out, it came with a beige interior from the factory. When I inquired about that, it was conveyed to me it was swapped by the dealership selling the car. I'll have to dig into it more, to see if that was requested by the original owner prior to delivery. Will definitely keep you posted.

Looking forward to meeting some of you guys at the Britfest in Succasunna, NJ this year. I attended last year as a spectator. Couldn't believe how big the turn out was. Seems like a real active group of enthusiasts.

Thanks, Tod
 
After driving a TR7,I came away VERY impressed!
Looks like a nice car.Could I ask what you gave for it?
Just asking,as the 7's on the list of cars that I'd
buy,if I sell the 6.
