Taking part in the above event again this year, but not in the TR, that <i>should </i> be next year!? (in an Aussie Ford Falcon GTHO this year - an Aussie icon 'muscle' car powered by a well worked Ford 351 V8 - have pics if interested!?)

Found four TR7 V8's entered so have attached some pics. (the 4th car, not in pics here, is the subject of a seperate post in TR7/8)

The Aussies do produce some very nice TR7V8's.
Quality.
15 inch Superlites aswell on the yellow cars.
8 inch wide variety i believe.

1979 TR7V8 FHC 3.9 Litre.
280bhp and 13.31 secs standing quarter.
20 years of tinkering and tuning......So far!
