Triumph TR8 3.5 V8

This is one of the rarest Triumph sports cars you can buy: a right-hand drive TR8 convertible from the small batch of UK-specification cars built at Solihull ahead of the planned 1981 European launch. The page says only 18 factory-built RHD convertibles exist, and just three in this colour. It uses the all-alloy 3.5-litre Rover V8 and is paired with a manual gearbox.

The car was one of the press-launch cars prepared at Canley. When British Leyland cancelled the TR range, it escaped the stock clearance and was bought by its first owner through a BL dealer. It has covered 125 miles from new and has been stored carefully since.

It is finished in Pharaoh Gold with a tan leather and plaid interior, and is described as in condition consistent with its mileage. It has never been registered, and the history file includes the original V55/4.
