Well, I haven't spoken to Steve, for over 30 years, he knows TR7's, I remember his workshop in Stubbins Vale was full of corroded TR7's awaiting various repairs and cars in for V8 conversions, so he knows his TR7's inside out. I've confirmed from 2 separate sources they are hardened...the debate about E5 or E10 compliant is for a different day. This was an interesting article with some background history.

Thanks for posting this discussion. its rekindled my interest in TR7's...I need to scratch an itch........enjoy the car, check the density of the antifreeze..........dependant upon its service history I would flush the radiator and replenish the antifreeze.
