Electric sunroof on the 1974 car? Says all the cars are in Kent but overseas phone number listed.
Anyone know anything about these/
Also mentions shed loads of spares which presumably are also for sale.

How could the guy advertise such amazing cars in a for sale and not place pics in the ad ?
Regardless of the price, these all sound like superb vehicles that any wedge owner would enjoy to have in their stable!!

Is that the last UK Spec TR8 FHC? My TR8 FHC is very early production (TCN150015) and it was built in December of 1978. The TCN160??? cars were built in 1979 and they were FHC's as well.

I'd love them all as well, especially the pre production car.
What a car that would be to own.
It should be in the Heritage site at Gaydon alongside the last ever TR7 off the line.
Just want to see some pictures please.

I won a preproduction TR8 coupe on eBay out of St. Louis for $5,250 but alas it didn't meet the reserve. Seller didn't want to part for that.[:(]
Add quotes 1200+ Spiders built, often thought to be production out of Canley. Bill Piggott's book states about 2,000 (I think based on serial number range). Which would make Solihull production at 800. Most Spiders I've seen/read about are Solihull products. Maybe because they had better under car treatment/preparation?

Colorado TR8, there were no UK TR8 FHCs, I think the car could be the last ACN car made.

Very intriguing, maybe that's part of the "no pictures" cunning plan. Love any one especially the Tr7 prototype.... But.. I'd be too frightened to drive a car that should be in a museum.

I think the car is TCN160145, built in Aug 79 according to my records. There were several coupes built in Nov79. This one is the highest Vin number cars found to date.
