TR7 opportunity

[Stu]

Don't. I can hang my head in shame and admit to owning one once. Terrific understeer and pants handling. I saw a nice convertible this year which did look nice but as it has been pointed out, there are a lot better buys out there. I come to Le Mans with the local TR club and they just laugh when you mention them.

Gilles,

A new opportunity in the classic car market has come to my attention.

It's a GRP bodied car with separate chassis, plenty of room inside for entertaining ladies (Texan or otherwise) and with several unique features such as non-closing tailgate, leaky gearbox, overheating engine in hot weather etc. etc.

Same spec. as a TR7 really without the rust problem but with the same sort of street street cred. as Andy Zarse's Commer.

Around 800 euros would secure this beast of a car. You could even start your own enthusiasts club as I don't believe one exists for this particular make and model as yet

All enquiries to Wishywashyman who has recently traded 'The Shed' in for a newer model, already known as 'The Shed II'

Thanks Pretzel

Well.... Gilles the shed in question does 0 - 60 in 2 minutes(fairly close to AZ's Commer) .....but as Prezel says grp body and galvanized chassis 2 litre engine,and a top speed of 105mph.

Yes guys you've guessed it is a 1989 Renault Espace wich has covered 305,000 miles of which 200,00 have been in the last 5 years since I have owned it.

Good idea though to start a french owners club for Espace's though!!

The dealer even gave me £500 trade in for it.......FOOL!!!

Think we need to start a Shed Owners Club. '96 Pug 806 for me and another of our esteemed forum participants has just acquired a Citroen Synergie.

Fecking marvellous vehicles! I'll be wearing home made cardies and slippers next.

Hi RM

New MPV's are great and the suggestion of an owners club for "people carriers" is a great idea!!!

However is yours capable of doing 305,000 miles on the original engine?

My new one is a year newer eith only 110,000 on the clock with 3 careful owners.......that was until it got into my hands today.......Hence the "shed " reference.
