I can imagine they butchered rust free original wings for that.

What is with the covered rear deck?

Whoever did that clearly has a lot of imagination, most of it mis-placed!

yeah, good that the didn't  it would have been an improvement to the TR7 and kept it on the road longer.

Don't worry, I've just realised it's not a TR after all - look at the exhaust with a prancing horse on it.

Clearly a 250GTO with a GRP copy of the TR bolted to its chassis.

Probably commissioned by Chris Evens looking at the body colour.

Hmm, didn't notice the prancing horse, I'm gonna buy it for the GTO chassis and try to find the original bodywork, I will make millions. I will ask him by the way why he chopped the V12 and put a Triumph rocker cover on it. I need also to find the missing 6 cylinders !
