All/most of us on here will have a TVR but who also owns a shed? i.e. an older car worth not much, less than £2k. I'll start;
Tamora and BMW 728i (2001)

Yep. Have had a Citroen ZX turbo diesel and Fiat Seicento Sporting, now got a Puma.
Good way to drive fun retro cars while keeping the special occasion of the TVR everytime you get in it. Wouldn't want one as a day-to-day car, 15 years ago I had an Integrale which lost its novelty because I was using it every day.

Chim+2001 TD5 Disco.
Also use a 2002 BMW 320D, too good to be a shed, more of a cheap summer house!

To go with my S Series I have a 97 BMW 318 which sits on the street outside my house for weeks on end until I go mtb'ing (I'd get rid of it but it's sails through its mot's every year and I bike to work so doesn't get enough use to warrant me buying nicer everyday car)
And a Manta Gte coupe part stripped at my folks awaiting a repaint (and the v8 installing that currently resides in my dinning room!!)

Yeah I have a '92 mk1 MX5 as runabout/commuter alongside my Cerb. Before the mx I had an '89 Merc SEC which was a shed by the time I'd finished with it.

Guilty
2000 Chim 450
1994 Toyota Corolla Saloon (aka the Tokyo Taxi or Beast from the East as my mates call it)
Someone before me (and I have no idea why) decided to import it from Japan in 2003. Everything is in Japanese. Service history, Manual, old MOTs (at least I think they're some kind of yearly check), warning signs in the car, everything. It has almost no optional extras as far as I can see and it cost me a grand total of £500.
And I love it. Its 2 Ltrs of solid, cheap, reliable, diesel motoring.

I went from a huge fully equiped workshop with three benches, a 4 tonn press, a four post wheel free ramp, 3 phase on tap, a lathe, a pillar drill, a milling machine ect ect ect. To a minute council lockup with no power that's just about big enough to squeeze the Tiv in. You got to love living inside the M25

Want. Those. Ramps.
Oh yeah - I have a 1999 450 Chim and a 2002 E39 530i. Love both but can see the TVR going before the BMW.
