TR7 convertible and Rover SD1 available
I have a tax bill to pay, so must part with these two. I like the Rover as it is, but realize it probably will end up repowering some other car. FI and five speed. TR7 has a sorry top, no AC and Strombergs. Both are stock.
How It Was Done! Car owner’s name John Dillingham Year and model of car 1980 Rover SD1 and 1979 TR7 Town/city and state Canton, Georgia Who built or modified this car? No one, as far as I know. TR is missing some air cleaner bits, has electric fuel pump. Rover sedan is still fuel injected. Both can be made to run E-mail address Parliament.scout@yahoo.co.uk Yeah, I know, you get a british server when you chose proper Oxford English over Websters when you sign up. Engine (make, model, configuration, displacement, etc.) Stock two liter for the TR and 3.5 for the Rover Engine electrical (including ignition) Stock Intake (manifold & carburetor, or fuel-injection specifics) Stock. Asthmatic Zenith Strombergs on the TR Cam Stock Cooling system Stock Exhaust system Stock Transmission (type, make/model, ratio of top gear, etc.) Both have the LT77 five speed manual Clutch System / driveshaft all stock Rear axle (make/model, ratio, limited-slip?) stock Brakes (tired or writing ‘stock’, so I’ll leave those blank that are stock) Front suspension / steering Rear suspension Wheels/Tires Weight Instruments Electrical (battery, charging, lighting, audio, etc.) Neither raced as far as I know. Other chassis modifications Other body and interior modifications Performance data Other important info (unusual features / historical notes / comments / tips / problems encountered during or after completion) I got the TR in a trade, hoping for a 30mpg commuter that would be a little fun. It is that, but no air cleaner and torn top, plus no AC take the fun out of it. The Rover SD1 lived most of its life in the Mississippi delta, so the paint and velour interior is shot as well. Rust in fuel tank requires frequent filter changes, will eventually fail. Only reason I’m selling these, is I have a tax bill to pay. As to the TR, I’d have preferred a hardtop, as to the SD1, I just like them. Sadly, I know its fate is probably to repower something else. Note: Please send us as many photos as you can!
