[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A bright and early start again this morning as we load up the 5 cars ready to head down to Kempton Park for tomorrow’s Jaguar Heritage, Classic and Sports Cars, hosted by Barons. We’ve enlisted the help and expertise of Russell’s Transport once again to transport 4 of the 5 vehicles with the 1982 Triumph TR7 being […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Held in association with the Suffolk Vehicle Enthusiasts Club (SVEC). Over 7,000 people attended the 2016 festival and I would estimate even more popped by this years. It was a fantastic day with beautiful sunny skies. The event attracts classic and sports car owners who exhibit their cars, some of which parade up and down […]
Our 1982 Triumph TR7 featured on UK Road & Rally Classics, reaching (at the time) over 23,000 subscribers and 23,000 followers.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On Wednesday 19th April we took our fully restored 1982 Triumph TR7 to the Orwell Bridge in Ipswich for our latest photo shoot. The Orwell Bridge was a crucial part of this shoot. It was opened to road traffic in December 1982, the very same year that our Triumph TR7 was first registered on the UK roads. […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Although this incredible structure over the River Orwell is one of Suffolk’s largest landmarks, it’s surprisingly difficult to get a car photographed beside the Orwell Bridge. We were all set for a 9am start with a fantastic location all lined up and the necessary permissions all in place to carry out our latest photo shoot. […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]With the newly refurbished radiator now fitted and functional there was just one final piece to the puzzle. A good clean and detail to remove the last of the paint shop dust. Rich from Suffolk Detailing came in to assist yesterday afternoon and after a few hours we are back in the workshops, covered over ready […]
Our Triumph TR7 radiator has now been fully rebuilt and tested by the guys down at Ipswich based radiator specialists Sheldrake & Wells. As always, a super fast service and prompt delivery means we were able to remove it, rebuild it and refit it in a number of days.
Whilst in the paint shop an issue has arisen with the radiator. By removing the radiator we discovered that is was suffering heavily due to rot in the core. We have now sent the radiator away to Sheldrake and Wells for it to be fully refurbished.
Here we have our 1982 Triumph TR7 in the paint bay being resprayed.
Due to our workloads, we have not been able to give our 1982 Triumph TR7 our undivided attention recently but that’s now changed as Craig has started working on the front area getting her ready for paint. Although the previous owner had carried out an amazing £16,000 full ‘nut and bolt’ restoration, when it arrived […]
Our 1982 Triumph TR7 is now in the preparation stages, the entire car must now be stripped of it’s components ready to undergo a full respray. Unfortunately, this task was only carried out not too long ago on by a company in Scotland acting on behalf of the previous customer. Due to a lack of […]
On Friday we made the decision NOT to colour code our Triumph TR7. We had discussed our plans with various people and had received mixed reviews, some people thought it was best to stick to the originality where as other felt a face lift would be a great asset to this iconic classic. Having thought […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We recently took delivery of a fully restored Triumph TR7. The previous owner of 16 years did a full ‘nut and bolt’ rebuild and has enjoyed just over 15,000 trouble free miles in her. Only brought to market as he is now restoring another one. We have a fully documented rebuild history and the car […]
