Just because - I had Citroens in the 70's and the early 80's - Peugeot ownership did them no favours and Stellantis has basically made all European car production the same. Now you just buy a badge.

Didn’t end up having the cortina too long, it was stolen and smashed up, should have kept the number plate mind, it was HOT **** and an E reg, didn’t know then, then my dad picked me up an Austin 1100 which for a while only had 3rd and 4th gear which was a laugh.

Yeah I agree but as as a Kid growing up in the 70's it was quite a common 'sports' car and I was fascinated with it, then I was bought a pack of 'Top Trumps' and the rest is history, yet It still to this day holds a lot of fond memories for me.

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.

Saw a Spitfire driving down the road today, looked so tiny amongst the pickups either side of it

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.

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.
