Car originally built for Targa Tasmania 1989 by Paris Performance of Melbourne with a Rover 4.6Ltr. Purchased by Doug Webb 2002 & totally rebuilt with Watts link rear end, adjustable front, big vented 325mm disc fronts, solid rear discs, LSD.
Competed numerous tarmac rallies always in the top 10, after Classic Adelaide 2008 and then onto Super Sprints MSCA thereafter 2009 – won over 3500cc classic class 2009 & continued with improvements until 2017 when the Rover V8 failed.
A five year rebuild followed with a new 5.7Ltr alloy engine, 6 speed manual Tremec box, beefed up rear end, with heavier LSD, new fuel system, major rewire, strengthened chassis, sunroof removed, repainted. GM Motorsport developed the engine to 303Kw @ 6300rpm at the wheels with bags of torque from as low as 2300rpm.
This is a beautifully prepared classic track car much loved with many trophies and with run-in miles only on the engine. This the right time to buy – everything is new!
This is an over $150k classic race car that you can buy for less than a third of what it cost to build.

I am selling this because I am leaving the Country.
In 2019 it was given a complete rebuild and all parts were removed
from the chassis to enable all rust to be cut out and under sealed.
Rover V8 and was overhauled and all necessary parts replaced.
The engine is Fuel injected by a 14CUX EFI system
The gear box is automatic with a sports provision which allows manual change on 2 and 3 gears.
The rear axel was overhauled and rear suspension got stronger springs and shock absorbers.
The fuel tank was pulled out and cleaned.
The brake booster was replaced with a more powerful one and brake disks were machined.
The front suspension overhauled and new stronger springs and shock absorber struts fitted.
Recently I replaced the two original fuel pumps.
A new Satellite speedo was fitted which only shows 590 kms. I only use it for regular short trips as on Club registration.
It has always been parked Undercover in my carport. The paintwork is satisfactory except the bonnet needs a respray.

The TR7 was a very controversial shape to say the least. None of the original TR heritage was carried over to this car, it was a completly new car from the ground up. Mechanically this car was much the same as most of the Japanese offerings of the time.
