Rennow Gooner Coop. 2 litre dizzle. £1500 Gloucscxsxcsxc

Such a pretty thing. "Just" 160k on the clock. Admire on the hard shoulder while waiting for the fourth emergency service. 

(I know, I know, they're not that bad)

How has this acquired an SVA with open wheels? I thought that was a big no-no

The same way people used to MoT hot rods. Clip on wings, attain certificate, remove wings. From my limited understanding of the process it seems that quite a lot of SVA/IVA tested vehicles have easily-removable mods to get through the test, which makes sense.

Then they got all tied up in knots and produced the Superb MK2, which was a saloon and a hatchback at the same time.

I still don't know what niche that was trying to fill, but it's certainly novel. 

Two birds, one stone. I imagine. :)

Surely the defining feature of a coupé is that it has panels and bodywork that don't fit anything else in the range, with the exception being the Triumph Herald coupé? For example, the (I think) the BMW e30 3-series was never offered as a 2-door saloon, but no panels were i interchangeable with the 4-door saloon.

Ah, and what will we do with the people who come up with four-door suv "coupes"?

They should be tortured then shot. There is no excuse for these! What moron thought an X6 was a good idea, possibly a similar one who thought ridiculously low profile tyres where the rims constantly crack on the roads would also be ideal for a 4x4! FFS And while I am on this rant why are there lowered 4x4’s?surely the whole point of a 4x4 is better off road capability.

 People carriers are bad enough but were  possibly well intentioned. I would prefer 7 seater estates such as Mercedes, Peugeot’s, Volvo’s, Montego’s, CX’s etc. or Transit minibuses. Before the nanny state went out of control we just sat in the boot of estate car’s if you couldn’t fit everyone on seats.

Same goes for 3door & 5 door it's a fucking hatchback you fucknugget.

Bit strong, old chap. What if you want to know how many doors it has? You might as well just remove all definitions and refer only to 'cars' and that's it. Body style? Car. Colour? Car. Engine size? Car.

That'll make things easy, eh!

The madman had it MOT'd up until last year...

Jesus. HFM! I accidentally clicked on the link. You'd expect it to be on gumtree or FB wouldn't you. No, it's on Car and Classic and it's £2.7k. Good luck with that.

SheffieldCortinaCentre makes a good point. 3 door and 5 door is usually used to describe an estate or hatchback and I have even seen it as a description on mk1 and 2 Escort saloons! The odd numbered door is the boot or on a hatchback or estate a tailgate. The rear wiper is usually referred to as a tailgate wiper, I have never seen reference to a door wiper. A door is used for access and egress and I understand the tailgate is also used for this on 7 seaters but it is still a tailgate ( or boot in my terminology) Cars are 2 door Saloons, 2 door hatchbacks or 2 door estates etc. My house has windows and doors, I can enter and leave by the windows if I wish to but they are still windows and are not doors. My father had  a mk4 Escort with Chubb locks which stopped working so I had to climb in through the boot. (Tailgate) to open the doors, it was not a door and my dad refused to enter the car in this manner.

Case for defence closed!

It also benefited from an almost 50k mile haircut in 2009, so a 220k miler.
