Yeah Tom, we all have one of those, like our favorite cars, "the one
that got away" that we wish we had now.

There were a run of TR-8's in convertible and I believe a hardtop
version also. Production was in '80 and '81 with a total of 2,815
TR-8's built. They carried the Rover small block 3528cc V-8's. A lot of
TR-7 owners have converted their cars to the 8 cylinder models, which
are rarer and command a price premium over the 4 bangers. The cheapest
TR-8 I have ever seen (No. Calif. area) was $5,000. Saw one the other
day for $8,500. I have always wanted a TR-8 convertible. Hope that
doesn't make me an MG traitor) If you'd like to see more TR-7,8 stuff

'79 definately not a "flying wedge" Midget.
