Found on Oz Gumtree, http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/eastwood/cars-vans-utes/1978-triumph-tr-7-convertible-with-unique-history/1136833512
Anyone know about this car?
Don't worry I've got no intention of buying it.
Just curious.

I wonder what the vendor has to back up the claims.

This is the very first TR7 Convertible imported to Australia as the show car, for the 1978 Melbourne motor show. This car was hand built well before the factory at Canley started building them in 1980. It came with a high compression motor and goes really well with plenty of grunt. Everything in the car has been restored to better than orginal condition. With a full 2 pack respray, new suspenion, brakes, interior, softtop and seats etc etc. This is a true classic investment in as new running condition. I have all the history of the car and the owners since Leyland cars owned it originally in Australia. I will provide pink or blue slip to the new owner as required. Nothing to spend, just enjoy great classic open top motoring. $20.000AUS

I'd need the VIN to ascertain if it is authentic

If it was in Melbourne I'd check it out, but as it's interstate, it's a bit far to go to check a VIN #.
Maybe one of our Sydney based members might suss it out.

i've also written to them, there were 2 white DHC prototypes but it need checking as there are a few things from the photos which belies this being either...

It appears they even went to the trouble of hand building the DHC bumper as it is now exhibiting some droop supercass
