I think another piece of useless information is that the TR7 / TR8 rear lights were also used on the early Midas Coupe cars!

My experience is that no knowledge is useless, it's just awaiting the right moment to emerge from storage.

e.g. a pub quiz[8D]

1980 TR7 Persian Aqua Drophead.

Slider, what are those nice looking grey seats in your car?
How easy were they to fit?

That Midas Coupe reminds me of the Pontiac Aztek. Also described as ugly I kind of liked it. But then I liked the AMC Gremlin too. Guess I'm just weird or my training in design (Architecture) is way too advanced.[8D]
