    Amazing build. Love it, always been an enthusiast of the TR7. Lets not forget all cars rusted back in the day, having a fully working car after 5 years was a feat back then, not just a TR7. The later built Canley & Solihull builds were better, but the damage was done as so clearly described still by a comment below. My TR7 drophead is as left the factory, never been welded is all original, the body work paint needs attention, but it is only original once!!

    Glad you like them - We're getting near the end of the season (😢) but I'd definitely like to get set up to do more of them next year. We have a few recorded ready edit and go out in the coming weeks. And let us know who you would like to hear from. 👍

    Master of the understatement about TR7 and the metal moths. The standard TR7 were dissolving as they left the factory gates if the electrics weren't trying to burn the car down. Amazing that any survived this long. Mr Elliott must have real love for the car.

    Awesome build but think a NA 3.5 V8 rally engine would have been quicker/easier to drive🤔
