30th Anniversary.

Postby John Wood » 20 Oct 2014 20:55

Sometime during October 1984 I bought my first TR7 (PDA818R) a Brooklands Green car registered on 3/1/1977. During the last 30 years I have bought 21 and sold 19 TR7's (including 2 x Sprints and a TR7V8). The most I have owned at one time is 6 and the least is one. I currently still own a Sprint and a Convertible but this year also marked a milestone for me when I acquired my 22 Wedge and my first ever TR8. Here's too another 30 years (I hope).

The most TR7s that I've ever owned at the same is two - now down to one again.

If only I had more space, or the funds to rent another garage! However, now living on a pension Mrs Sensible keeps vetoing my plans to buy another!

Guess I'll have to be content with 'sharing' all yours!

Congratulations John.[8D]

You are a man after my own heart.

My first TR7 was bought in 1986 although I had always wanted one much earlier but just couldn't afford it.

It was a 1977 four speed coupe (RPD 470R) in Inca Yellow. I haven't changed that much over the years.[:D]

I will have a count up on just how many I have owned,trouble is I've only got ten fingers[;)]

And only 1201 Posts?

That's an average of 120 a year, or ten a month!
