Comments from the seller

This is a genuine rare TR8. One of only 2700 ever made. All delivered to the USA. Import plate in photos. Only travelled 3850 km since mechanical restoration. New interior and soft top. Totally rust free. Has extractors and big bore exhaust, Edelbrock manifold and quick fuel Holley carb. New brakes and suspension. Lots to like. Paint has the usual couple of stone chips which is why I’m not asking $50k. TR8’s will appreciate just like the rare TR5 have been getting up to $150k now due to their rareness. This is a real drivers car. Sounds great, handles amazingly. You won’t be disappointed in the drive. Nothing to spend . Just enjoy the open top motoring. Watch the heads turn as you cruise the streets in this 1980 Triumph TR8 convertible.
