It's not really important, just interesting. And, I think the body being mostly filler will be a problem for concourse work. But it's been twin carbed and got overdrive, and it drives suprisingly well. Rattles a bit though.

Also, if anyone's thinking of creating an actual Triumph 1300 convertible... Then again...

The 16v Slant 4 engine is more fun than the 3.5 V8, because you mostly drive it on the upslope of the torque curve.

Factory 1977 TR7 Sprint FHC VVC 697S (Now all of, but still needs putting together)
B&Y 73 Dolomite Sprint UVB 274M (kids!)
1970 Maroon 13/60 Herald Convertable (wife's fun car).
