I always loved the look of the TR7. With the red paint, it looks like it's doing 30 while standing still.
Nice one Rob. Makes you wonder what the TR7 would look like if Triumph were still building cars today , but it's one of those cars that woukd probably look great today 👍
Who knew a Majorette casting could look so good! Great job dude.
Great finish on the red and that interior does look pretty good. For opening doors, they're a pretty neat fit too.👍
Very nice! That casting looks good in red. I used to see a TR7 around town when I was a kid. It was yellow, but no two body panels were the _same_ yellow. I think that was the same guy who later had a Saab Sonett.
I used to lust after a yellow version of this car when I was a kid. Great resto! :) Keep On Keepin' On!
Nicely done, sir. Red is definitely the color for this hot roller.
I like the way the original wheels turned out on this one, they suit the car well. The whole car turned out nice.
I own a real 1980 Triumph TR7 convertible, Brooksland green.
Matchbox did a great job with the attention to detail of the that car.
Very nice restoration.
On another note,
let us pray for the end of this
Corona virus. Thanks for the video
Wow!! What a beautiful restoration!!! I love the way it turned out!!! 👍👍👍👍
When I was in junior high school ( mid '70s), there was a dealership the bus went past on the way home, and they sold the TR-7 " The Wedge". I remember seeing them in bright colors, red , green and yellow. Some had black tops and stripes. I always thought they looked futuristic, at least from a '70s viewpoint..again, a great restoration, and then some.
Very beautiful restoration, excellent job.
That was one of the exotic cars of my teen years in my area. Job well done - that red POPS with the black trim!
The WEDGE, nicely designed, horribly built... but you made a superb job in this 😍
Wow Rob! Really one of your best! That paint job absolutely superb
Lovely job. Red is definitely the best colour for a TR7. Nice one.
the colour looks great on that car
I remember Triumph's sales pitch in the US for the TR-7: "The Shape Of Things To Come!" Great work, Rob!!
Love it! A great rendition of the shape of things to come!
A FABULOUSLY restored little Triumph!!.. Looks better than it did when it left the Majorette factory!!...
Nice. I like the TR7. Great job. Have a great week.
Great choice,really like these Triumphs, 👍
Hi Rob, there is a technique called dry brushing. After the brush (A fan type is best) is dabbled in paint you would wipe the brush on the side of the conatiner until it's nearly dry. Then with a very light touch, swipe across the raised letters such is on the number plate and the paint should only adhere to the raised portion of the lettering. It takes a bit of practice but works well once you get the hang of it.
Try it out and let me know how it works out for you.
Very cool liked the real tr7 great little car and like what you did with it great job on it
Great restoration! Nice final touches such as black handles, side and front lights. I just bought one from ebay and I think I'll make it in white: during my childhood in Milano (Italy) I used to admire a white one going to school in my neighborhood 😊 Thanks for sharing your videos, I am learning so much from your experience!!!
Very smart as always Rob. Red with the yellow interior works well.
Fun fact: actualy have a TR7 in our school bodyshop, it used to be painted in a dark purple colour with a yellow stripe i believe but right now it has been repaired, no more holes in the sideskirts or rust in the engine bay or on the front bumper. It has been preped for paint and is sitting in our paint booth... waiting the end of the coronavirus so we can come back and finish it.
I live in Belgium btw and that virus is really annoying us too
Stay safe mate! Hope she turns out well.
Loved the Triumph back in the 80's.
Though it is more of a maroon red, a red TR7 appeared on THE NEW AVENGERS, though the more common yellow TR7 on the show was the mainstay model, driven by Joanna Lumley's Purdey. Thanks for the video! Nice job!
Excellent restoration, triumph would be proud 👍🙂
For some mad reason always had a soft spot for a TR7 hard top.
Hi Rob, another awesome video,the finished result speaks for itself and the little details how it make it a smart model.
This red color is beautifull, very nice restoration 💪
When I see a tr7 I think of the blue one driven hard by the professionals. Good job on that one looks great in the red.
That turned out gorgeous, great work once again Rob.
Had a Dinky one of these.It was white with Rally car decals.Somebody near me has an immaculate TR7 which is a daily driver.Of course there was the TR8 which had the 3.5 Rover engine most of which were exported to the States.Great model Rob of a classic Triumph.
That is a fine looking trumpet. Great job
On my favorite cars when I was 11 or 12. I never saw a 1/64 in the stores where I lived. If I had you know I would bought it.
Super work Rob, nice bit of escapism...
My first scalextric car was a TR7! Good job
Gorgeous, Rob! Simple and beautiful!
Thanks for doing these videos.. A nice diversion from the uncertainty we all live in..
The end result looking fantastic Rob. I've always thought red was the best colour for a TR7, this one sure says that to me! Thanks for the paint tips too.
Looks great, the red definitely suits it well
Great job Rob look forward the next transformation
I enjoyed watching this project. Nicely done!
Really great transformation... Top Notch Job!
Great work Rob. Very nice restoration
A french trand for a car from UK ... as a french viewer i says "Congrats" to an english youtuber! 🤩👍
Beautiful car.
Nice restoration and paint job 👌
That is absolutely wonderful... cracking job as always Rob...pukka! 👍😁
Really nice job there Rob well done 👍
Great red, looks so much better than the original! Nice piece!
Love it awesome job my friend
This one came out really well. Probably better than when it came out the factory.
Sometimes Rob , a simple paint job just ticks all the boxes .. A job done well ...👍🏻🤓
Fantastic restoration as always excellent video
Man. That. Come. Out. Good. Nice. Work. Again. Bro. Lee
Love it...❤. I had a real one and I wish that I still had it. Great job👍👌
Nicely done as always my friend.
Well done Rob! Like always...👍
Excellent job on a Triumph Rob 🍻
Great job
Nices job Rob I was young i went to get my frist car we seen the triump in red look very sproty but i try to set in it and i was to tall lol so you know i did get it .
one could say that the paint removing on this casting was a total triumph! XD
nice and shiny again. :) I bet the original paintjob wasn't as good. majorette had big problems with paints during that period. I remember unpacking one Thunderbird Mk7 and the paint already flaked off. took it apart and repainted it in Mercedes Silberdistel light green metallic, with green interior. :) looked a lot better like that. I still have it, too. ^^
Very nice restoration 👍👍😊
Excellent rob looks very smart.
Pretty casting, full of detailing and you gave it a big plus with that bright and shiny red. Nice, nice, nice... 👍
Nice work! It looks good as new!
Beautiful car , my brother had one almost like that one , it had black interior. and stayed in the shop more than on the road...
Great job Rob.
Good job Rob.
Very nice I need that car in my collection
You do nice work. Two suggestions - the rear licence plate - the entire plate should be a different color, not just the lettering. Second, consider getting some after-market custom wheels. It would bring your cars to the next level. Thanks.
Believe it or not, the Triumph TR7 is my dream car.
Looks great brilliant job
Cool car
Very nice restore. I had the one to one tr4
Nice! Looks like the old Nissan Pulsar Nx in the 80's
very nicely done
Very nice work!
Excellent job as always 👍
I remember bashing one of these off a tree as a kid. I think it ended up getting ran over by dad's pickup in the driveway! Lol. Very nice job on this one, Rob. Looks like it should be sitting on the showroom floor.
Before I even see this video ... at last a when I was a kid dream car ... over heated and not fast but still want one ....
Nice work Rob
That Number Plate Came Up Well Rob!!! Good All Over Big Difference!!! Love It Thankyou!!!
Turned out great!
Wow ,it looks very nice. Well done :-)
Well detailed doors...
Great job with the Triumph TR7 inside and out and l thought triumph were a motorcycle .
Odd that designer of the bodywork on this was British,& not somebody like Michelotti. Fab resto Rob.
Nice work rob
That's a stunner!
That would look good in my collection
Great Job as always! That is fizz normally get with mine. I use a Keurig to get my water hot. Maybe that is why I don't get the reaction. humm..
Looks great. Better then new
Well detailed body too...
And another fine restoration from Rob "The Boss".
Nice job!! Aaaaand a new filter there! :)
Yes mate had a tidy up
