Triumph TR8

Description

Up for sale is a silver 1981 TR8 with blue interior. My father purchased the car new, it made its way into my garage 2 years ago when he got a Jag. Always garaged, never driven in winter, and never had an accident.

The paint/clear coat touched up recently. Front passenger side has a scratch and slight dent. Included is a pic of the minor rust found on the outside of the wheel wells. All 4 were the same, I can provide addition pics.

The wheels are Rimmer Bros Minilite Replica with tires that have less then 3k miles.(waiting for a replacement cap to arrive for the passenger side back rim). Original wheels also included.

The top is in good shape with no tearing. The stitching is lose around the rear window zipper and the windows are hazy.

The seats were covered since new and are in great shape. The floor mats are recent additions. The dash has a crack next the lights switch where there is a screw.

I’ve taken the car out a few times this spring and it is driving well. The oxygen sensor light has been on since the 80’s and my dad has always had a piece of black tape over it. Outside of that no other lights are on. The gauges are in kilometers, not miles. The dash shows 71,163 KM. Please let me know if you have other questions.
