Horatio's Cars |
|
Welcome! 14th August 1999. Although I hope to communicate with others who are interested in cars, the main reason for starting this site is to try to trace the history of my Triumph TR7 above. 11th June 2000: Not now son, it's developed into a diary of anything that goes on in my garage! The other car featured is my first project, a Formula 27 which I built from a set of drawings and is, I suppose, a kit car. I started it in August 1995 with the intention of actually scratch building as much of the car as possible and then using it for club hillclimbs and sprints etc. Unfortunately, circumstances beyond my control meant it had to be "put on a back-boiler" and I lost interest in the project, but it sits patiently waiting for me to be inspired once again. 16th May 2000: I found the inspiration to sell the damn thing and it's gone. YES! The TR7 was bought on the rebound from the dissapointment of the F27 although I can't claim to be long time fan of the marque, I bought it because it was cheap! It is used regularly and never mind the jibes at it's appearance, the fun/spend ratio is very positive. :-) 16th October 2001 But now there's this Jensen Healey which I bought with the proceeds from the F27. Nicely over powered, won't go round corners but great fun anyway (or because of). 2nd February 2003 One of them had to go. Both were advertised at the same time at around the same price but the Jensen sold first. At the same time I was offered a Rover SD1 cheaply so I decided to make the TR7 more interesting... May 2004 Bought another TR7, a breaker but one which has been used for rallying.

This is one the most popular TR7 sites anywhere. Say "Hello" to John.
