TR What?

[UltimateQuestion]

Somewhere under this there is a 1980 TR7/8

If you look really hard you can just see it in the windscreen/vent windows.
If the seller hadn't pointed it out, I would mistake it for a highly customized Mustang.

I could hardly see anything 'cause the guy's finger is in the way.

Why oh why would someone spend all sorts of money to make a TR7 look like a Mustang. I mean some people make Fieros look like Ferraris and such because they can't afford a Ferrari but that generation of Mustang would cost about the same as a TR7. Bizarre.

As the owner of a TR6 and a Mustang, I can only say I am appalled. Maybe somebody will cross a Trans-Am with an MG.

As the owner of a 1981 TR7, I wept.

As a reasonably sane car enthusiast, I puked.

Betcha it goes like stink. It would have to so no one could see how ugly it is. Zer

As the owner of a '66 Mustang and an MGA, I just plain can't understand what he thought he was creating. If he wanted a two-seat Mustang roadster, it may have been easier to slice a Mustang in half, take out the rear seat section and weld it back together than to graft a Fox-body front-end onto a TR7.

However, I must admit that putting Ford small-block V-8s in any British roadster has intrigued me ever since 1965 when I saw one of the first 289 Cobras smoking its tires in every gear.

Did you see the guy running away from it in the main picture? Its because its so ugly!

The more amazing thing is there is a bidder and he has not met the reserve. Once again proving a challenged individual is born every minute and we have two here on display.
