I know that red TR7.
I won a red gearbox on ebay and went to fetch it from an army base as the guy building it was moving back abroad away from the UK. I had a good look around it.
The work he had done was good quality and he just couldn't take the unfinished project abroad with him. He'd sold the sprint engine and gearbox and was going to sell the rolling shell on ebay - which he did.
I noticed the shell was going to end on ebay at a low price so I bid and won the auction at £700. I didn't really need it and he said he'd been offered more so I told him to sell it to the other guy because it as was worth much more than £700, and he deserved to get more and I was still doing other TR7 projects and space an issue.
Everything on the car was either new or refurbed. The only thing that put me off a little was the body kit and at the time wasn't interested in a sunroof.
