coxyhog Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 My next door neighbour has a car body shop & his sideline is buying up barn finds & restoring them. This is his Grinnall TR8, a souped up & body modified Triumph TR8.It sounds beautiful & in keeping with the times has no electronic driver aids. Only trouble is he won't give me the keys. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that Coxy is a half decent TR7 in disguise but i have to say the body design is truly appalling imo. I am an avid TR man having owned a TR4 and TR6, net pics but mine were the same colours 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I know the guy who originally brought this car north from California in the '70s - not the present owner because he was forced to sell it through divorce, along with other interesting cars he owned - but I figure he probably added these "defacing" safety features so he would feel more comfortable giving his small daughters and her friends rides around town in the car; then again, perhaps the car already had them thanks to a former owner who had similar concerns - do you want a museum piece or do you want a driveable car? I think you are the real "airbag" here..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my CLT-L29 using Tapatalk Awesome car R8 love em but pricey ehh but ya get what ya pay for. I never appreciated how good Audi's were until i got a TT when they first came out, i'd always been a Merc or BMW man. I loved driving the TT 225bhp and the interior was superb imo.

Yeh, you can't be an Audi interior. The TTRS is a bit special.... R8s are great value at the moment but still a lot of money...
