Title: Not a 131 but it is a FIAT Post by: parrish on January 04, 2014, 06:17:39 PM Just bought today for Dawn, replaces the 2007 KA.
Not a 131 but if we keep it 30 years it might be collectable!

Dawn spends a good deal of time in UK. 500 for Dawn and this for me: (http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/parrish_028/TriumphTR8008Medium2.jpg) (http://s435.photobucket.com/user/parrish_028/media/TriumphTR8008Medium2.jpg.html) Title: Re: Not a 131 but it is a FIAT Post by: simon131 on January 06, 2014, 09:49:14 AM Very interesting car that Steve 8) 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?

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. http://www.classicandsportscar.ltd.uk/Triumph-TR8-Del-Lines/classic-cars-for-sale/14047 Sid, try these guys for a boot lid: https://www.robsport.co.uk/ Title: Re: Not a 131 but it is a FIAT Post by: sid131 on January 06, 2014, 12:17:19 PM Good man Steve thanks!
Title: Re: Not a 131 but it is a FIAT Post by: 106usj on January 06, 2014, 08:38:01 PM 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 :D
But in that side view in red she does look good. Title: Re: Not a 131 but it is a FIAT Post by: simon131 on January 07, 2014, 04:34:25 PM I love it Steve! 8)
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 ;) (that's the car and not you mate! :D) will give you a fair old shove in the back. 8) |
