Hi,
Welcome to The Speke TR7 Owners Club [8D]
Great looking car, complete with period accessories i.e. the Sparkrite alarm, remember fiiting those back in the day.
If you find a good way of removing the Ziebart under the bonnet [V] let me know.

Not sure what to do at the minute with it. It does have a years MOT so might tax if for a while. But I'll need to do a few jobs first to set my mind at rest.
My other Spekes are in storage at the minute, so having one on the road for a while would be nice.
Needs a couple of localised repair to the inner wing area, so probably won't bother doing anything with the engine bay yet. It'll be much easier just to take the engine and subframe out and set about the black sticky shit at the same time. I'm thinking scrapers, thinners, petrol, degreaser and a stem cleaner if I fan find someone with one.
The sills are lower down the list than the mechanicals, but NEED to be black in time. Likewise the filler work in the door bottoms is pants and needs doing...
Our lass loves the winking headlight pod - offside one does two cycles before staying up. Might leave that for the comedy effect! Needs all that black sticky stuff off to get to and clean all the connections.
Won't be messing on too much with it though as I have a Mini to crack on with and have my Defender on the road for the summer. Not that I get much time for any of that with work and my daughters daily horse riding and dance regime. In fact, am sat in a car park in Leeds for all of the day today - 3 hours down, 4 to go!
