Anyone know a good place to look at a rally TR7

Hi,

I have just purchased an old TR7 rally car (raced in the 80's). It is not in the traditional rally colours and needs sorting in a few areas. Is there somewhere where I can have a good look at a works TR7 V8 (or replica) to get an idea where everything should be on the car. I live in Devon so anywhere south would be great.

Also has anyone got the measurements for the position/measurements of the bonnet and side colours. At the moment I am leaning towards the BA or Sparkrite colours but would like to see some cars in person before deciding.

Thanks

Marc

Yes that is (was) me. Starting to miss driving the rally car. Been thinking of making it the car I want it to be rather than the car the MSA wants it to be.

Steve, you need to keep WAC as it is. You spent so much time making it a good replica it seems a shame to change it.
