Just a quick introduction
We (Phil & Toni) have just purchased a restored TR7 from Roy Hankins and we are looking forward to getting the engine sorted out and back on the road for the summer.
A big thanks to Roy for getting me back into Tr7's as I used to own a yellow one in 1980!
Phil.

Hi Phil and Toni.
Congratulations. If Roy's had anything to do with it, then it should be good!
Your next big job is to go on-line and join the TR Drivers Club!

Hi Phil and Toni,
[:D] WELCOME TO THE BEST TR7 / TR8 FORUM IN THE WORLD EVER [8D]
As my learned friend said if Roy had anything to do with your new car then you got yourself a good one. Once you have owned one TR7 they tend to get under your skin.
I hope to meet you two out and about during the year.
Cheers John

Hi Phil & Toni,
Welcome to the forum.
I'm glad you are both pleased with your new car. I get the feeling you are both going to be a great addition to the TR7 community and the TR Drivers club.
We will have to get some pictures posted.

Hi Phil & Toni,
Good to meet you both at Roy's the other weekend, & welcome to the forum. There are some very knowledgeable people on here so don't be shy to ask any questions that may crop up while you get your 7 back on the road.
Looking forward to seeing you & the car at some events during the year.
Tony

Here, that yellow one in the background doesn't look bad either!
And what lives under the Cover Systems garage then?
