Steve85 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 @Leroy Peterson, can you give us some more info? Where did you find this? it looks to be in amazing condition. Are you into English cars or did this just peak your interest this time? I'd love to hear the background to this.

Steve85 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Haha! The warranties, that's how they get you! Still I've never seen a car of that vintage look so clean without a full restoration!

I've decided to keep track of the build here: http://www.zeitakuvip.com/forum/member-s-rides/non-vip-builds/22023-triumph-tr7 After the whole Photobucket fiasco, i dont really want to be posting on multiple forums again... except some odd updates on the pulsar on SAU. All the detail is on PGA. Everyone carrying on about rust has me real worried about the car. like how do you wash a car that rusts easily? cant use water lol. It also will be sitting outside for a week or two which has me concerned... ill buy a cover for it I think 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/455588-share-your-euro/page/5/#findComment-7843615 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has just become my daily, i've had it for two years and it has served me well so far. It's certainly not under any kind of warranty. The gearbox had a it of a meltdown about 3 or 4 months ago and was flaring and carrying on. I ignored it (like you do) and then finally at the service mentioned it was "a bit rough". They recommended a new gearbox for 10k. I declined and we looked at the new models, but none of them were my thing. In the end, we came back to the same model, only this one has been well kept, well serviced and has every conceivable option these things came with. If the gearbox does go, it will be a project for my friends and I to change it over and see if we can reprogram the car. Surprisingly it has been very well behaved since the initial problems, but i'm pretty much expecting it to stop moving the back wheels at any stage now. When it does, bring on the spanners...
