I had a 1980 TR7 DHC about 10-11 years ago. I drove it regularly from Indianapolis to the Hudson Valley of NY on the interstates. Great car, I put a header on it which gave it some more snap. I routinely got over 30mpg, it was comfortable, handled well, was a joy to drive down through Paoli to Lake Patoka by French Lick, and believe it or not it got stolen. I swould love to get a TR7 coupe someday once my Spitfire is done.
