TVR is apparently back!

So, what better way to pay tribute to those manly maverick geniuses than looking at a Tuscan which has been cared for better than the owner's offspring and a Cebera which may or may not have once been used to sell marital aids?

The best podcast ever (about second-hand cars on Facebook Marketplace) is back with a brace of absurdly powerful TVRs. One of them is purple.

Who honestly has the time to keep an engine bay this clean?

Well, someone with TVR Tuscan money, probably.

That mad dashboard layout of the TVR Cerbera.

Includes a central fan to keep your crotch cool, probably.

Last call for this week's podcast, which features a TR7 with a punk interior and a Ginetta G26 which barely has an interior.

Join us as we try to answer the question of what comes first: Finishing building your kit car or your spouse divorcing you?
On this week's episode, we go back to a time when everything was very angular after finding a Triumph TR7 and a Ginetta G26.

Plus, we learn how to speak like second-hand car salesman courtesy of Jason Dawe.

If this isn't enough to make you want to become the proud owner of a Ginetta G26, then frankly nothing is!

Find out more about that, a "winter project" Triumph TR7 and second-hand car salesman lingo in our latest episode.

Our Triumph TR7 was advertised as 'the shape of things to come' in America. Now it's been abandoned in a field next to a Co-op lorry trailer.

Plus, a Ginetta G26 and second-hand car salesman slang.

Education is important, but learning all about second-hand cars is importanter
I have very fond memories of the Summer of my A levels, when I should have been revising, watching Jason on the used car roadshow instead.

A new podcast episode - one so streamlined and aerodynamic, we managed to squeeze in two big Vauxhall Calibras. Matron.
This week, we've somehow ended up with examples of the same car. Namely, the Vauxhall Calibra V6 2.5L.

Plus, we pay tribute to Quentin Wilson.

Here's the link to that wonderful Quentin Wilson article on the decline of independent second-hand dealerships we spoke about on the podcast this week.

Do please give the full version a read.
Quentin Willson on the decline of used car temples
Quentin looks back fondly on now long-gone days of cruising streets lined with secondhand car dealerships, family in tow, eyes peeled for the next irresistible purchase.

Nice to see a Lotus Excel which isn't slowly being reclaimed by nature, unlike one we found.

Plus, some Lotus Carlton chat.

Factoid: While the Lotus Elite was dropped in 1982, the Eclat formed the basis for the Excel (initially names the Eclat Excel).
The car benefitted from Toyota components including the A60 Supra’s door handles as seen here…

It's not every (or, indeed, any) episode where we end up talking about drag coefficients.

But this old Top Gear review left us with little choice when discussing the Calibras we found this week.

Factoid: The original Mk3 Fiesta XR2i was infamously greeted by CAR Magazine with the cover headline ‘Another Duff Fast Ford’.

1992’s XR2i 16v had a far better Zetec engine, but turned out to be the last XR2 Fiesta…

With a memorable shape, instantly recognisable to this day, the Porsche 928 was conceived as a modern, high-tech V8-engined flagship grand tourer which would set a new direction for the company's future. This 1980 brochure saw a faster 928S join the standard 928 model. #weirdcarbs

You should never listen to our advice when it comes to buying second-hand cars, but someone who you should is the late Quentin Wilson.

We pay tribute to him as well as talk about some V6 2.5L Calibras this week.
