Michael Hart who know a bit about TR7's sent me this:

=EF=BB=BFFYI
=EF=BB=BF This is a genuine 1980 TR7 Spider, Solihull factory California fu=
el
injected engine version (one of 548) TPZDJ8AA401772
Ship date Aug 20th, 1980 (from the original build card); no previous
records of ownership in the  TWOA database.
It looks like it suffered from the classic Bosch high pressure fuel
injection engine fire - fuel at 40psi through rotten fuel hoses=E2=80=A6
Also it seems to have lost the red decals/stripes and the interior looks
pretty poor; though the original Spider carpet and seats May be worth a
look.
Most other parts should be salvageable and perfect fit to any 1980 fuel
injected TR7;
5-speed tranny
Spider alloys
AC components
Might even be a restoration candidate (the engine fire was likely just on
the top surface).
Happy bidding!
