K70 I reckon.  Quite a hard clout from such a lightweight car judging by the VW's rear door.  The Reliant owner probably scooped up all the pieces, bought some resin and matting and had it up and running in a few days - if he wasn't injured.   The footwell looks intact, as does the steering column attachment area.  Perhaps he mistook the K70 for the Audi 80 which cut him up earlier.

It is an Audi 100 like this one.

K70: very different glass, doorhandles.

Just beautiful - the rear end turned up on the Rover SD1 and most of the design on Citroens for the CX and GS.

Yes, but it was far more sensible for BL to keep making the non styled ADO17 for another 6 years.

I wondered that, went for K70. Parked, or shunted, a bit close to the Mk 3(?) in front of it?

Huge amount of damage to the Reliant for a crease in the Audi/VW door. Frightening to think how bad it would be in a more serious impact.

There was nothing behind the front of those untill the front wheel so even a low speed impact would easily split one in the wheel arch engine access panel area.

Looks like farage has been de-car'd along with being de-banked.

Not sure an Italian scooter fits with his anti-EU rhetoric though.

Yup. TK's where widely used as car transporters.

Plenty of info here - https://heritagemachines.com/commercials/evolution-of-car-transporters/ and enough BW photos to fill t'interweb. But I'll just stick with this bonkers creation, designed before driver ergonomics was a thing.
