Triumph TR7 Convertible (1981) - Owner Stories #7

James drives us along the legendary Southend seafront in his freshly & painstakingly restored TR7, done in his late father's memory and just in time for James' wedding!

If you have an interesting car, and would like to tell me about it on camera, ping me a message on [email protected]. We can make a short film like this one, including a lunch stop on me!
