Grumpy, 7's are very underrated and was the best selling TR ever, rust is the main problem hence not many survived, the FHC is particularly rare so buy the best rust free example you can afford or buy a MIG welder and enrol for evening welding classes. Spares availability is good and the car is years ahead of an MGB.
Having spent years building MGBs and Minis I well versed in the sparking arts! However it’s something I avoid if possible these days. 😉
