We really appreciate the help from Take to the Road for our Video of the Week this go round. Titled “A Very British Wedge – The Triumph TR7” this is the story of Triumph enthusiast Alan Gleaves who spent many years looking for a good TR7. In 2014 he found his dream car.
To quote our friends at Take to the Road,
Barn finds are very popular these days in the classic car classifieds world. The term itself is often applied to literally any car storage scenario which can raise a few eyebrows. Many are genuine “barn finds”, locked away and forgotten about for decades. Regardless of how the term is used, barn/garage finds always get classic car enthusiasts just a little bit excited. We all dream of one day of stumbling across an old classic parked up, covered in dust, each layer telling a story of the cars past. In our latest film we talk to Alan Gleaves about his search for a Triumph TR7 and how it lead him to find a very special car.
So watch the video, drool over the beautiful low-milage TR7, and please check out the full article over at Take to the Road.
