Thanks Chris, I do keep mentioning you to Pete, he knows and said that it was supposed to be at yours in September

Here we go Jim, starting to tidy it up a little and once the concreting is finished I can start organising the 2 big sheds and get most of the car parts in there

Getting a bit pushed for room now, just asked the Missus if I can extend the garage..............My head is only hurting a little bit now......

I did not realise the TR7 was a drop top.

I have not seen another one of those in decades.

You might have to come for another visit Chris, just in the throws of getting the drop top running again

Apparently they didn't talk too kindly about it either
When I worked for a Triumph Indy in the mid 70's the TR7 was such an improvement on the old fashioned TR45 and 6's I always vowed that one day I buy one. More than 30 years later I bought one and thought omg what have I done!

Ah, I think that I could suffer on bravely in there for awhile, crowded or not !!!!

 

[Timeandleisure]

I reckon this chap could squeeze a couple more cars in there

Mike liked it...Ant Anstead was horrified at having to touch it. Worth watching for the modifications by the previous owner.

Garage or Moneypit?

Trouble is if I leave the Money Pit there is will create a lump in the concrete

Sounds like the one you're talking about is what my old Dad used to describe as "7 and 6 down, pay off the rest for life", when 7 and 6 was the cost of a marriage licence!!

Now that the concrete is hard enough it is time to put the Triumph back into his kennel
Oh and after 5 weeks of it sitting on the back of the lorry with half a tank of e10 is started first pop

You have some interesting cars... is that a genuine 2.5Pi estate? Dad had an K-reg one new in white... I remember that car well and loved it. I was just too young to be insured as a learner on it... that had to wait until his M-reg Audi100GL.
