Just bought today for Dawn, replaces the 2007 KA.
Not a 131 but if we keep it 30 years it might be collectable!

Very interesting car that Steve  Cool I should think it's quite front heavy with that V8 up front isn't it? Wonderful Q-car though. What sort of horsepower does that 3.5 push out?

Simon,
160 plus however as we all know old engines never give what they put out originally.
Car is currently having its body work overhauled at Willow Triumph.
Cant call the car a Q car! the exhaust gives the game away even on tick over?
Tail happy and good to drive though, acceleration is terrific.

Sid,

Could never make my mind up about the look of the TR7 at one angle it looks stunning and at another angle it looks too much British Leyland 70's wrong  Cheesy
But in that side view in red she does look good.

I love it Steve! Cool

135bhp from the standard Rover V8 sounds a bit puny when you consider 115bhp in a 2000TC 4-pot 131/132, so at least your "160 plus", minus a bit for old age Wink (that's the car and not you mate!  Cheesy) will give you a fair old shove in the back. Cool
