Let's see them locked up for a month and then deported from the UK...I'm sure The Sun will give its full backing.

I thought TVR was dead, too--so pleased it isn't. T350's gotta be one of the most delicious machines ever. Droooooooooooooollllllllllll.

I like the wedge shaped TVRs and later the Griffith variants.

That said there is nothing as sexy as pop up headlights:

Yeah, had an RX7 convertible with pop-up headlights. And now have, languishing unused in the garage, a Mk 1 MX5 -- taught 2 of my kids to drive in it. Really sweet.

The RX7 is an awesome car (only bettered by the RX8) - but an MX5 - what were you thinking!

On this point we shall just have to differ ...

Still, great car to learn to drive in, better than burning out the clutch in a fiesta.
