Lamborghini Miura. Most beautiful car ever built in my humble opinion.

Certainly the best looking Lambo

Loved Top Trumps as a kid. I also grew up with the TR7 and was determined to get one which I did when I was 19 and have never been without one since. They have played a big part in my life both working and pleasure. Probably the most underrated sports car ever made.

A woman’s VW Beetle breaks down​

She stops at the side of the road and doesn’t know what to do.

She has no phone signal, and doesn’t see any cars. She feels stranded.

20 minutes later she sees a car in a distance! ...but it doesn’t stop.

Neither does the next one. She’s distraught.

Then after much waiting, she sees a car and it’s a VW Beetle as well!

The driver stops next to her.

A man gets out: “I couldn’t leave a fellow Volkswagen driver stranded! Let me see what I can do”

He goes over to her car, checks it out, pops open the hood and says: “ah! I see the problem! You’re missing the engine!”

“Oh no!” the woman exclaims, surprised, thinking how she could have lost it. The road was bumpy...

“You’re in luck though,” says the man, “I have a spare engine in my trunk!”

That car was actually owned by Mackenzie Crook and was auctioned last year at Mathewsons.

Come back Lavinda, all is forgiven!

I think that's where I saw it

Shame the UK stopped making those wonderful 2 seater convertibles like MGB, TR6, Spitfire, Midget, all great and beautiful cars and very good sellers in America etc.
Now all we have is the MX5 from Japan.

I think the answer is British Leyland.

Yes I only found that out after I googled it earlier. 30 grand it fetched I believe. Is that the going rate these days?
Nice car though.

Yeah, over 30k with the buyers premium. Worth a fraction of that in reality, about 5/6k in the condition it was in as it wasn't a pristine example. Bought by a fan of the show, not because he was a TR7 enthusiast, I believe.
