Description
1978 Triumph TR7 Auto
Owned by the same family
since new; recorded mileage of only 9,196 miles
Originally purchased from Fletchers of Swansea by our vendor's
great uncle in 1978.
Recorded in the file is
the initial purchase invoice and its first MOT in 1981.
Put through an MOT every year until 1997 recording the mileage
steadily rising to 8,333.
We understand from
the details supplied to us that it was most likely laid up between about 1998
and 2003, when it changed hands to our vendors father. In 2010, it transfered to
our vendor, still showing only 8,340 miles. After a few years standing, it
needed some recommissioning.
Firstly, the
bodywork was looked over, rusted areas were welded and replaced and a respray
completed. A further £600 was spent on replacing various miscellaneous pipes and
wiring.
The following year a reconditioned
unleaded head was fitted and it started being regularly put through an MOT again
until 2015 when it would have been almost old enough not to need one. An invoice
on file also shows it having some wax oyl treatment then.
A fresh MOT has been passed in April this year with no advisories,
showing only 9,108 miles. A touch over that when it was photographed for sale
and driven in our car park, this is certainly thought to be
genuine.
Spot on, rarely presented with the
automatic gearbox and mostly original (new carpets and headlining) – it seems a
very useable car with electronic ignition and a stainless steel exhaust also
included.
