Wedge Cheap 1975 TR7 coupe

Share this page

You don't see too many 75s around any more, and for good reason. The four speed is weak as is the older 4 fuse electrical system. Many of them came with the steel spoker wheels which were prone to catastrophic failures. The current body shell for TR8 race car is an early 75 TR7 coupe. It was one of the first 500 or so built and it had a few unique early items, including the "bullet" designation inside the glovebox. It also had a slider hood prop rod. Oddly enough thou, it did have all of the proper mounting spots and captive bolt holes for the TR8 unique parts. For example, the mounting bolts for the TR8 radiator cage were all ready there. It made for a real easy rebody after the last time I wrecked the car on the track. The biggest pain is the fact that the early cars did not have the tie down spots on the frame rails. Makes it a challenge to load on the trailer.
