Im sorry but i really don't think those bullet mirrors or the eagle thing do this car any justice, (just my opinion, don't want to offend anyone).

The badge-bar is a bit TR6-ish as well. OK on an old Hillman Minx, but NOT on a TR7! IMHO, of course!

The green was put forward as a potential TR9 stlying by Grinnal. Some of the cars are showing their age now.

Rest of the photos are very much like mine[:D]

Thnx for posting. [:)]

What body kit is this?
Image

Seems a little sad to put in this much effort for this result.
Image

Looks like a very nice example.

The green Fixed head MUY 57X isn't a body kit but a stage 2 Grinnall.

The dark green convertible isn't a bodykit either but a "rounded style" Grinnall, the last that they produced with Grinnall VIN plates and is owned by phil Horsely the Grinnall Registrar for the TR Register.

The yellow car is a restoration by Glavon group leader Andy Smith and isn't a commercially available kit but one he spent many years fettling and constructing from scratch ... each to their own!
