the soon to be released toyota aygo x with 1.5 litre engine, with sunroof

Probably something like this. I first saw a GT40 in the flesh at Buleigh when I was a kid, and it was the one car that stood out to me all day. But there is always something slightly tragic about a balding middle aged person driving around in such things:-

I mean, you're all wrong...

You guys must be a lot younger and fitter than me to be able to get in and out of these sport cars. I struggle to out of the wifes Clio.

I'd have one of these beasts. Not great for parking at Asda, but superb comfort and can tow anything. King of the road.

Would that include a full dip, strip and reweld?

There's a youtuber called Auto Alex that is getting his T3 restored and she lives up to her name of Rusty Betty

I quite like the T3

It's only the fat cat pensioners who can afford these types of car.

I’d prob go for this. I’ve heard they handle really well.

The original and still the best.


If Rowan Atkinson can run one as a daily, so can I.

That thing is terrifying. I had a go in a Speed Six many moons ago and I shudder to think what one with twice the engine and power was like. When TVR's boss who was known for being a bit odd went 'steady on chaps, this is a bit much', you know its a handful.

Not too clued up on all good cars but when I saw this on Wheeler Dealers was instantly impressed. 1970 ish Fiat Dino Coupe 2.4. V6 Ferrari engine , styled by Bertone but not a Maserati. 180bhp , more than enough for me , all leather inside, lets cruise to Whitby n back .

Nothing gull wing.
Slightest prang and you're locked in.

Really ! , there's a Blue soft top 1961 E-type Roadster 3.8 for £325k very nice, or the red roll top is a 1969 4.2 ltr one shown above is around £79k. I've a feeling the cheaper one is 1990 copy, probably made in London by the non boomers.

I helped in the development of the crankshafts for TVR when they ditched the Rover V8 engines and the TVR rep who was basically running around in a working prototype told me he was a member of every breakdown service available at the time. The factory would give him a call so he could go in and have a new bit fitted and then they'd send him off into the world to test it
