Triumph TR8 Drophead spotted!

It's amazing what can be seen when out and about. A random trip into North Wales lead me past this 1980 Triumph TR8 parked up at the side of the road. What amazing patina! It looked to be solid, although the metallic pink paint was definitely not standard so who knows what may lurk underneath.

It perplexes me how much vitriol is spilt towards the TR7/8.
For this lad born in 1970 it was the first real object of desire on 4 wheels after Thunderbird 2.
The shape just seemed to fit the times, Star Wars et al
