Saw this on EBay today so thought I'd take a look. DVLA have it registered as a 1983 Talbot, which I feel is a bit strange. Does anyone know anything about it? Is this a pretend car as it's not got a roll bar? Wessex (Bristol & Bath) Area Organiser. My cars: Stag RV8 - sitting in Garden waiting for me to restore; Dolly 1850HL - in workshop, repairing doors.

Jim, look at the photos again. I reckon the reg is actually SUX 999Y. This vehicle is not recognised on Vehicle Tax website. However enter reg on Vehicle MoT website and it comes up as a red TR7 showing that MoT expired in 1982. Signal Red - 1967 MkI Vitesse Saloon - North Bucks Taith O Amgylch Cymru 2014.

There have been a lot of dodgy TR7 adverts on Ebay - usually for an aquamarine blue version from multiple sellers and addresses but exactly the same photo.... The pictures are strange - most shots taken in a museum (or similar) and the one on trailer reminds me of the disused European customs post we drove through on a 10 CR. No under bonnet or interior shots that couldn't have been taken from outside the car which made me suspicious. Seller is mainly given a good rating from his purchases so caveat emptor in my opinion Howard

Quoted from Pete Arnold- According to the MOT site it was last MOT'd in 2009 and is a red TR7. Previous MOT's only show the usual minor issues - lights, breaks etc but between 2006 & 2008 MOT's it covered precisely ZERO miles so either the speedo was disconnected or it was moved to the test centre on a trailer.
