Big Ouch !!!!
Looks like he walked away, which is the good news.
The bad news is the car.

1979 TR7V8 FHC 3.9 Litre
19 years of tinkering and tuning...... So Far!
Laying down a rubber road to freedom.

Thats expensive. He was asking $50,000 for that, in full race trim.

That WAS the car that took 11Th outright in the 2002, or 3 Targa
Tasmania. The only things that beat him were the full race Porsches.
No Ferraris Lambos, or rice burners, just the Porsches.

He'd been in a similar position the year before, but he had another big off.

He was fine he has started to build another one with the running gear from that one.

[john mc nulty]

Hasbeen that was his new car he started to build it about two years ago he had two yellow cars

Most important he walked away from it more or less unscathed.
and it proves how strong a TR7 body is
or maybe that's thanks to the cage he welded in.

Just proves how strong TR7's are ! I was very glad I had a roll-cage in mine when I went off on late afternoon ice 2 years ago - only suffered cracked ribs and collar bone ! Car now reshelled and should be ready to rock and roll this year !

PS I have a TR4A cage on ebay for sale !

You better hurry, only 28 hours left [:D]

Looking at (the remains of) your car it's clear why they put cross braces behind the doors nowadays.
But most important you walked away less "dented" then the car
