My old TR7

I was alerted by a friend that a TR7 was for sale at a local car dealership. It turned out to be my old car!

The car was taken as a trade in and for sale at what I considered a bargain price. Guess who now owns two TR7's?

It's like the story of why the kid just had to have TWO cookies. He said it was because he had TWO hands.

You garage is giving me claustrophobia. I hope the hooks don't come out of the wall and let that bicycle land on the car.

nice buy [8]!!

Guess the benifits of buying an carbon copy of the exact same car won't alert the "swambo" about the new purchase right away ......

But if I were you I'd figure out a nice comfy area in that garage where you could sleep for the next couple years when she does find out [;)][;)][;)][;)]

Do you find placing the advert on Car & Classic brings in many enquires ?

My DHC is going on the Market & was wondering how you got on with the advert - my reservations is the amount of Text you can write & number of photos.
Would only put it on E-Bay as a Classified Ad as bidding is full of no hopers pressing the button & fees to place the advert are quite high on flee bay but has good coverage so swings & roundabouts.

What did you clean the bumpers with as they have come up great [?]

Hi Graham,
Good luck with the sale - 3 calls in a day is really good especially you being way up North. C&C is quite popular now.

Use to spend the summers up on my Uncles farm near Huntley & learn't to drive tractors & more [}:)] on the great roads up there although only 15 at the time.

So come on what are your bumpers cleaned with as I have been looking behind the Cider in your garage & haven't seen the magic formula [:p]

Hi Paul,

Yes, that's correct. I got it at a good price - too good to pass up! I've done a few minor repairs (including new drivers side window regulator, a new rear light (old one was cracked), fixed the boot light, fitted the cardboard covers for the rear lights, etc and given it a good clean and polish! I really only need one DHC!
