Was the base car a Triumph TR7..?

Kinda ruins poll. As they are marmite of classic cars.
But yes it is! Front has Peugeot 406 coupe headlights, rear Vauxhall Tigra!

Hmmm, not sure, personally there's too much going on with all those bits, sort of trying too hard, cool doesn't have to try, it just is.

Not my cup of Darjeeling - looks too much like an 80s kit car. The idea is there it just doesn't look quite right...

Def better off getting an Amazon or PV (I'd have a PV any day but Amazons are cool too)

Yep the problem is they went so much wider with arches than standard.
It needs skirts to break up the gap along sill.
Those look too jdm for me like off an RX7 drifter.
I'm unsure where to price compared to a standard TR7 in similar condition?

It has got a fully rebuilt engine which is so quiet.
I've seen basket cases go £500.
Don't know whether to chance the Retrorides value my car thread?
Maybe just eBay it with lowest price I want as start price?
Needs lights wiring in + tidying of body work.
Got new wheels + tyres on. On it when I bought.

I'd like a PV too! Don't know much about them though!
Thx for all input + advice. Service provider kicked me last night.
So glad my yes reply went up.
