Anyone want a budget EV? It's for sale, low mileage. Can't remember the price.

 

[Jameshow]

3000 GT quite rare these days!

You can see that one has lost control coming around yon bend and ended up on the wrong side of the road

Never driven not even ridden in a Triumph 2000/2500. Quite appealing though, with the 6 cylinder engine (like the one in my Vitesse), though I get the impression its main rival the P6 Rover might have been a rather more sophisticated car. I have driven a P6, and despite it being a bit of a rusty old banger was quite impressive to drive

P6, larger, comfier, more plush. 2500, smaller, lighter, more sporty.

I've owned a P6, regrettably sold to pay my legal bill post divorce.

I was a very sophisticated car, so much so that it came close be being jet turbine powered, and in many ways was the British DS.

The Trumpets were more conventional, but excellent for all that. The P6 effectively created the small prestige saloon with sporty pretentions market that BMW went on to make a living from, but the Trumpets were no slouches and were lively of engine and chassis for their time and market segment.

Mate of mine had an ex - police 2.5 PI that went well

Hairdressers Car

The hairdresser just down the road has a Porsche with a private plate.

Re the TVR, those strange vents make it look to me as if the doors and bonnet don't fit properly.

Hairdressers Car

For a given value of Hairdresser ..

Way back when my hairdresser entered the RAC Rally in a mk 1 Escort in the hope to finish class. He got some decent result in his class.
