As Roger says it all depends what you want out of trialling as to what sort of car to buy.
I always think a Reliant engine is a bit of a cop out and maybe go for a Liege and get the modern running gear to go with it. Changing the engine may limit what events/classes you can enter.
Building a good reliable and strong 7 won't be cheap either,and if you take it seriously its hard on the car.
However they are great fun and hold their own against much more modern cars,I won a production car trial outright once,it was all down to one particular section being very narrow and slippy.With The 7 being only 4 feet wide I managed to get a line though without sliding out or loosing forward motion.
Isn't it a long way to travel from SW France to compete ?
