Trying to thin the herd a little..I'm not sure if I should call this a Triumph that was improved with a bulletproof drivetrain or a V6 Camaro that's actually fun to drive :-)

Excellent condition, NO rust.

Custom paint, a brilliant metallic blue with silver metalflake stripes (and red pinstripes) and rocker panels/rear panel painted with Mystique color changing paint. Some very minor paint flaws and scratches.

The stock powertrain was removed and replaced with a 3.4L V6 and T5 five speed manual transmission from a 1994 Chevrolet Camaro. The gauge cluster is also from that car. Exhaust is a custom dual Magnaflow setup. This engine stock has more power than the Rover V8 that was fitted to the TR8 model. The transplant is very cleanly done and looks factory.

The wheels are from an MG ZR/Rover 25/45 over 4 x 100 adapters.

Custom interior with upgraded seats, Nardi wood rimmed steering wheel, new JVC stereo unit with Bluetooth, USB, phone, etc. Four speakers. Tinted side windows.

New parts in the past year:

Front brake rotors and EBC Yellow pads

Rear shoes, slave cylinders and hardware

New Lucas wiper and turn signal switches

Battery

Rear suspension bushings

Fuel pump, tank cleaned out, wiring.

Heater valve

All fluids are fresh

Convertible top is in very good condition, needs some further fussing for best fit.

Total actual mileage is unknown.

problem areas:

fuel gauge doesn’t work (GM gauge can’t talk with Triumph sender)

A/C inoperative

windshield washer inoperative

speedo is inaccurate (needs to be programmed)

Car is located near Greenville, SC

Very good looking car.  I'm sure it's a blast to drive.

 

In case you missed it, your car was featured on the Daily Turismo last week.  It was well received.

Good luck with the sale.  I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the TR7.

Those wheels look great on your TR7.  They remind me of the Compomotive CSX's I had on mine.  Pic below for comparison:
