TRIUMPH TR8 COUPE !

a A ORIGINAL TR8 preproduction coupe from 1977 !! car with a huge history ...

It seems safe to say there were approximately 145
preproduction and (at least) 150 Production TR8
coupes manufactured from 1977 to 1980
Today approximately 65 coupe's still exist , With 3 in the Netherlands

This one is produced on july 8 1977, and shipped to California ,as they were never
sold in Europe.
Vin number ACN/01015- UCA with Engine number 00017 , both numbers are correct
and with the car is the original building sheet( very rare).This TR8 in particular is a well known car in the USA , as it was from Bill Sweeting the
founder of the TR8 club in the USA. After merger of clubs it became TWOA
