This 1982 Triumph TR7 Convertible, sold for £2,250, has been under long-term ownership since 1985 and underwent restoration around 2002. While the interior presents well and appears original, the car has been laid up since its restoration, indicating it has not been running for years. Restoration work included addressing rusted panels and cavity wax, but there's also evidence of mechanical work within the engine bay. No keys are available, and the steering lock is broken. Overall, considering the age, restoration history, and current state of being laid up, as well as the lack of keys and broken steering lock, the car falls into the 'Good' category.
