nipped out to pick up some Dolly sprint "bits" today and he has this for sale, now I have a hatred of TR7's, but could grow to like this one.  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1980-Triumph-TR7-V8-4-6-litre-SUPER-CHARG...

[James Doulton]

That would take a V8 nicely.

"v5 present" mmmmm wonder what it says on it thou ? That car has never been finnished /registered
Good base for a project,would love to take a moulding off that rear end

[James Doulton]

It has a number plate on the rear "WME 388 G". Not that that is a guarantee of provenance - that registration isn't down as either a Triumph or Dutton on the government 'check your tax' web page.

[Adrian Southgate]

Its never been registered as a Dutton, not been taxed since the computer was introduced = DVLA don't have an active data file for it so the system returns 'not found' even though the number is registered to the herald.

[Adrian Southgate]

It says...

Triumph

Herald

13/60

1969

And the headlamp pods they're made of unobtainium now too

[Adrian Southgate]

Source of headlamps was?.....

[Big Vern]

They were Vauxhall viva/Austin allegro etc - several cars used them, in the '70's The pods were made by Dutton IMS.

[rob saul]

Be interesting going for your 1st mot in your "herald", see what happens
Think the light pods are the same as used on the Midas bronze,think the late Charlie Dodd had a mould for them

[Big Vern]

Hi Rob, no midas ones are a lot different and 'very square' the dutton b type/ b plus were specific to dutton. Sadly many people ditched them for the round 7" lotus seven look.

[Steve Kerswell]

I notice a custom fuel tank, and on the front "horn" a number, I've blown it up, chopped it and still cant get the focus right to read it. No bids mean people are wary of it, still, early days.

[rob saul]

Are they the right front wings ? Cant see the little indent for the side light on proper Dutton ones
