Presenting in BL British Racing Green, this TR7 is wearing the 'TR8' moniker symbolising the fitment of V8 power in a small 2 seater roadster, an attractive combination in motoring history. With 4 former keepers shown on the HPI, this TR7 with a retro-fitted V8, has been in the current ownership since 2017. Appearing fresh and presentable, it benefits from a new Tan hood that complements the attractive factory Tartan and Tan vinyl upholstery.

This TR7 V8 benefits from a number of improvements and upgrades. It has been fitted with power steering, electronic ignition, and a Kenlowe fan. The most noticeable upgrade has been a professional V8 conversion over 20 years ago, with the engine 'built' by Real Steel of London. Work completed included a Holly carb, Viper camshaft, a 4 branch manifold, stage one head and a Power House stainless steel exhaust. There are invoices on file for the engine build. Post- build, the engine has been fully balanced up to approximately 210bhp, with that mated to an 'S' spec (V8 3.5L) gearbox and the carburettor was set up in 2019. Other benefits include an oil change this year. To deal with the power, the TR7 has been fitted with Koni shock absorbers and upgraded brakes. Displaying a credible 112,000 miles, 'VAR 550W' is accompanied by a Heritage Certificate, a collection of invoices and old MOTs.
