jonlar Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Sorry, Gazza, I think there's been even younger than you - Layla Smith, for one?, and I think there has been mention of even younger - good on them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tr7jim Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 I was surprised the 31 to 40 are leading but just about remember buying my first Very rusty 1977 TR7 back in 1991. Sadly is in the big Scrapyard in the sky. Jim Johnson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Gazza1110 Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Wow that is awsome lets hope that more people my age and younger get involved then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonlar Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Well, if we don't get young people interested and involved, the Club will eventually go to that great scrapyard in the sky! It's the astronomically high prices being asked and achieved (esp. 5s) that could be another nail in the Club's coffin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wedge fan Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 I remember seeing my first TR7 outside my school when I was about 8 years old. It never crossed my mind that I could afford such a car until I came across my 1980 DHC on ebay purely by chance. My MGB had died in a big way and I wanted a replacement classic when I happend to stumble across this. A fantastic looking car and a convertable too for a reasonable price! What sprung to mind was that scene from Back to the Future when the 1955 people see the Delorean after it crashes into the barn and they think it's a space craft - that was exactly my thought when I saw the TR7. I'm definatley smitten with the TR7 now and this won't be my last one, plus it looks great with my other BL cars - now if I can just get hold of an Austin Princess...

Maxwell Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Wedge Fan... Be careful: start thinking Austin Princess, and you might find your way on the slippery slope to that other Harris Mann creation, the Allegro. With luck, it'll still have a quartic steering wheel and faded Orange seats! Maxwell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob from Brum Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Hi Guys, I was 20 when I purchassed my first TR7. It was a 77 tin top that had been resprayed black with compomotive wheels. It looked the dogs. Unfortunatly it was written off when the then girlfriend ( now wife ) lost control on a bend and wrapped it around a tree side on. That was back in 1988. Now in 2005 I have just purchassed my second TR7 a v8 dhc and I still love them now as I did then. What I am trying to say is the stag has always been my dream car, but when I had the chance to buy a stag I went and got the TR7 V8 because the kid in me won. Age does not matter, its how young you feel. ( P.S I won't let her drive this one, you all know why!!!!!!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yoke Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Well the first one I bought I was 25, took it apart and got lost in the process. Eventually parted that car out but now have a 1979 convertible(not on the road yet), a 1977 coupe v8(engine and transmission yet to be put in). At the ripe old age of 32 I figure I should be able to enjoy a summer of driving sometime before I am 40!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
graham cooling Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 well, Graham, my dad, and the "owner" is too old to mention! (at least if he reads this anyhow! ) myself (mike, and ungrateful son! ), and the actual car owner, well, I'm 32. My first TR was a 6, which I got at 24, and rebuilt from the ground up (after an unfortunate overheating incident...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
