About this vehicle NOTE: Numerous Pictures were not visible to viewers. I RE-LOADED them. Please click on the additional description link and scroll all the way to the bottom for those photos! If you are still having issues go to the ebaymotors app and view the listing from there. No set up is perfect it seems…oh well,Thanks Ebay! Hello! Up for Your Purchase Consideration: This is a 1980 Triumph TR8 Convertible. 1 of 2,815 total TR8s ever built (both early hardtop coupes-fhc & subsequent convertibles-dhc). Powered by the venerable 3.5 liter Rover Buick 215 V-8. 5spd Manual Transmission, Rear Wheel Drive and in a Great Color scheme of Poseidon Green Exterior with the Gold Tan Check Plaid interior. This TR8 comes from the Texas area.(see pictures) It is a dry, rust free example that has not been on the road (inop) since 1987 and is a very solid restorable example that is 98% complete, comes with a couple of nice extras and has a clean and clear title along with a British Motor Heritage Certificate to back up its History. Seller’s Notes TR8 has a clean and clear Illinois Title. Bill of Sale provided to buyer. Factory owners manual, BMHT Certificate included. This TR8 Does Not Run. Please keep this in mind as You Consider Purchase AND Transport Expenses. (Weighs approx 2,400 lbs) BUYER, responsible for transport! This TR8 is being SOLD in AS IS, WHERE IS Condition.There are NO WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES IMPLIED. A Non-Refundable deposit is due immediately upon purchase with the balance to be paid in full before release of paperwork or TR8 to transport company or new owner if picking up,(provided a scheduled time and day is agreed to). No checks or money orders of Any Kind. SECURE Bank to Bank Wire preferred as is Cash if in person. No renegotiating or lowering of price post ebay commitment to buy. Very Fair Terms of sale! Vehicle Details This TR8 was built in May of 1980 and as such is a Canley Factory built example. Equipped with factory air conditioning in which all the components are present with the car. Interior is mostly original with the exception of the seat covers which look to have been replaced and are in good condition. No radio was present. No soft top present, but Desirble aftermarket SNUGTOP Hardtop is in good condition but requires two side latches (available online) to be complete. Original tool kit with blue bag, and original trunk mounted battery hold down assembly is present. Also included: new trunk Struts, trunk back panel replacements and trunk lid seal. Top of engine: intake manifold and valve covers removed to verify very good condition of motor. Motor turns freely and I have a seperate video of that if anyone needs assurance. Very clean engine valley area. Rest of engine components were reassembled back onto engine but hardware is only on there finger tight, so that the next owner can properly finish off the mild reassembly needed. Twin carb set up complete but one water choke assembly is diassembled and in a box with a nice rebuild kit and all the gaskets. If you keep it stock, you refurbish. If you go to a 4bbl carb setup ( i.e. holley 390/edelbrock intake), then no worries! TR8 specific gas tank is out of car but included. Appears to have been refurbished and now contains a drain plug welded in as well as a good oem fuel pump and fuel sender unit assemblies included. Also new rubber tank pads and original tank heat shields (2) are there as well. NOTE: The Driveshaft is back in vehicle at this time, post-pictures taken! Rear axle differential by the way, is 3.08:1 gear ratio which is factory issue for the TR8 model. Wheels are Panasport 14×6 rims (Nice!) Riding on Tires that are 3 years old and in Good Condition. Brand New British Heritage Chin Spoiler included. This TR8 appears to have Not come equipped with front foglamps but the harness plugs are there. This varies from factory installed to dealer installed and in some cases not at all. Factory Radiator, aftermarket single electric fan, new thermostat controller, radiator crossmember, a/c condenser are all out of car, but are included and in good shape. Same goes for starter and clutch slave cylinder+ hard steel lower clutch line. All emissions equipment present less the catalytic converters. Cast Iron Exhaust Manifolds are there but Rest of exhaust system is a NOT present.The aftermarket has kits available. Body wise, the potential buyer is WAY ahead with a RUST FREE, DRY, TEXAS Car such as this TR8 is. There appears to have been an original side stainless molding that followed the swish line of the body sides but are no longer with the car. Along with original paint scuffs and an assortment of dings, etc. Over the years. Note the pictures of the right front (passenger fender). Something in its life occured in that area as some skim coating was found. The magnet pictures show though this was superficial at best; the inner factory fender lip is smooth, original and undamaged. Full disclosure here! This is an easy car to restore from a cost standpoint, because there is NO rust repair to deal with. You go straight to body smoothing and paint! Pictures provided back this up. For the price point advertised here on ebay, this is a Great Opportunity to acquire a Desireable, Collectible and Underrated Triumph Model. The aftermarket support is very good and the club/model support amongst TR8 fans is quite strong today. TR8s follow the same Formula Shelby did with first the AC Cobra and then shortly thereafter, The Sunbeam Tiger. Put an American V8 into a British Roadster! The TR8 follows that formula to the tee, but most dont realise that because its a Unibody structure and not a body on frame like the earlier two, these ride SO much nicer. They are great long distance touring cars. They Sound Great, and they perform well for the era in which they were made in. The are easy to modify and gain more performance with available parts. Once sorted, they are more reliable than folklore British tales are likely to admit! Heres Your chance to buy in at a Great Price! My interest in this sale is hoping someone recognizes this as a great deal and that in turn, will allow the buyer to utilize the budget on getting this TR8 back on the road. This is kind of a Pay it Forward deal for someone as I have been fortunate with past deals and now I want someone to receive the same! Im a Straight Forward and Easy Seller to deal with. If You would like to communicate person to person, message me please with contact info. I have an EXCELLENT record (100%!) on Ebay as both a Buyer & a Seller. I am NOT a dealer. This is a private party sale. I have sold vehicles successfully before on ebay over the years and because I am overly descriptive in my ads and not vague like many listings, I find my buyers to be pleased with the item, the communication and the assistance in the final steps of the transaction. Thanks for taking the time to consider this very cool and full of potential TR8! Cheers! P.S. I am aware of all the scammer/spammer tactics. Save yourself the time, not to mention that you will be reported!! Videos Exterior Interior Engine Deposits are nonrefundable. Download the eBay Motors app
