Unfortunately no V5 or I  would be on a collection mission. It's a R80 I think.

You always liked Trivial Pursuit so of course you want a wedge shaped car.  The TR7 is too common and a Lotus Elite too expensive to repair.

A Ginetta G26 could do it, but the Pinto engine isn’t exactly classy and a Matra’s little Talbot engine isn’t meaty enough.  The perfect answer is here, a TVR Tasmin with its 2.8 Ford V6 and the coupe shape is less midlife-crisis than the more common convertibles.

It’s a bit fucked, obviously.

Engine in pieces in the boot gets around the problem of “Can I take it for a test drive?”

Pretty sure I've seen that car at least three times in this thread. 

Best one they ever made - it's beautiful.

Never heard of a Husquavarna Vitaminpill before, but it must be the closest thing you could get to riding your washing machine on the road.

I’d associate Husquavarna with chain saws mostly and garden power tools in general. Flymo is one of their brands. 
They made motor cycles before lawnmowers however but sold that division to KTM in 1987.

Since 1987 Husqvarna (the motorcycle side) was owned by Cagiva, MV and BMW before being bought by KTM. It even started the spin off brand, Husaburg.

Their two stroke motocross bikes put the nail in the coffin of the British four strokes that ruled scrambling in the 60's. They then developed four strokes that are still winning motocross  and Moto3 races, albeit badged KTM's now.

Their logo is that of a gun sight  as viewed from the end of the barrel of a musket, which they were producing back in the 1650's.

Here endeth the lesson.

This looks every shade of amazing for £895

Would be tempting to fashion some sort of half-arsed brake light and 'daytime MOT' it, assuming it could be road registered.
