Great little car, great sound and great driving! I've got a white TR7 V8 barn find that I've just got regoed and wofed. I'd love to do this stuff. Can't find any wheels [95.25 pcd], are the hubs on this car swapped over to something else?
I believe the Tr7/8 uses the same hubs that were later used on the MG Maestro, MG F and MG TF. You see alot of them running about with MG wheels these days.
The rules allow an increase in size. Its 4.5 ltr but, not real strong so we take it 5000 generally, 5800 occasionally and only 255hp. Good little gigga but!! She punches above weight.
@@hazold8541 This absolutely has a Rover v8 in it. If you think comp spec Rover V8s are slow to rev you never heard anything from TVR with this engine or indeed the BTCC SD1s.
Why aren't you using the homologated rear boot lip spoiler? May I ask what the rear axle location setup is please? Are links stock, repositioned, bushed or rose jointed etc?
Re spoiler..., the owner of the car probably hasn't considered it! Rear end is from a V8 Commodore and frankly, too wide. There is an adjustable roll centre but not very sophisticated. She is a nervous handling car in the wet particularly.
My dad had a yellow one of these. With a black spoiler on back. Was brilliant on the Scottish Country roads.
Had one mid 80s .. loved it
Absolutely love TR7's. Thank you for the amazing video.
Glorious music!
Great footage. Love it.
Super cool. You don't see many of these on the road anymore.
Beautiful!
Good effort guys 👍
So Tania says "he's so gentle with the tyres" and I believed her!
Ahh mate! Never waste crowd.
stratos what stratos
Your car morphs in to the 'Dobson's car' at 29 seconds in :)
Beautiful (:
Make sure she's pointed the right direction before hitting the gas!

These hubs have been converted to Holden Commodore so the brakes, bearings are upgraded too.
It's been converted to Holden Commordore hubs.
Which id upgraded my TR7 Jubilee special to a TR8 back in the day even though i did have the same engine in my next car the Rover SDI.
Awesome little car..has it still got the Rover V8 in it?? What capacity??
If, it's still a Rover V8 in it....it should be 3.5 litres....it might be the Leyland V8 a bit larger at 4.4 litres.
@@Mexxx65 I had a Rover P6B and the 3.5 litre donk goes pretty well with some mods..they really are strangled in standard form.

Looked pretty planted to me.
Probably not effective.
