I'm just curious. I live in england, and own a 1980 tr7 FHC in green, with gold decor and wheels, to make it look like the TR7 special edition I think. In reasonably good condition, there is not an alarming bit of rust to be found (no bigger than a 2-3mm in diameter). 89k miles, no chips or noticeable dings on exterior, no rust. Only spots are 1) tiny crack in left pop up cover of headlight 2) Some microscopic bubbling, barely noticeable on the boot lid.
Interior good, but not excellent, a bit faded here and there, but no rips in the seats, no cracks in dashboard or anywhere else. Carpets not too bad, but quite worn. Everything on the dashboard works, save maybe fuel gauge very tempermental but working when i last checked. All lights work. The lights even pop up.
Starts, runs and drives, but not too well. When engine gets warm, it suffers at the higher revs, and with more gas. Needs a new dizzy cap and a good service. Very new gearbox, pretty new petrol tank. New battery.
Bottom of car has all been treated. Stainless exhaust. Everything standard that I know of. Have I missed anything? Garage stored under a cover since 2001 until I purchased a few months ago. Since then, been under a new cover, and aired and run nearly every dry day. 12 months MOT. No tax. What would you pay for this? Thank you! Any questions?
Here's some pics, sorry if they are a little big!:
