What ya need to do is get the red one off of the bay, and transplat all the engine an gubbins into a standard tr7, pull the standard engine out of the standard tr7 and give that to the hideous one. would be nice to have a tr7 with cossie motor.

Blimey Lewis! where d'ya find the blue TR7? totally agreed, that is one nice bit of kit! loving the MGF alloys, they suit the car a treat! I could live with it, I reckon! blownimp, nifty idea! it's the only way around it, the red one is fairly wreckered! pity.

Blue one is featured somewhere in the Club Triumph Forums - tis a Sprint one too! club.triumph.org.uk/forum/ < under TR7's and "my unfinished DHC 16V TR7" I think!

Ahh sweet, nice find, was wondering what was under the bonnet, heard of some with M16/T16 engines, but the Sprint engine much cooler, keeps it believable as a factory fitment. I always liked the idea of having one of these, that has done nothing to help rid me of the desire to have one ;D

Sorry to spoil your TR7 related fun chaps, but that blue one has a dodgy kit fitted too. I'm surprised you didn't see it.
I like the MGF rims though.

well, admittedly, the kit on the blue TR7 may not be to everyone's taste, but I think after the monstrosity on the red TR burned my eyes, I failed to even notice the blue one had a kit fitted! ;D

the red one's got the nosecone off a Pontiac Fiero! He probably got it off his mate who was building a Fiero-based Ferrari 'replica' (with 85-hp 2.5 iron-block 4-cyl donk engine) and who was gonna chuck it in the skip. 'Hey, can I have that? Reckon it would look THE NUTS on mi TR7'!!!
Bets its class to drive though, 300hp? Look out!
