It looks like the best kind of TR2 that get caned around to McDonalds, rather than polished to kingdom come.

How come TR2 has such a mix of colours?
Work in progress (11 years and counting.....too busy using it to spray it)!

Good spot - I do like a nice Indy cloud9

Described by the road testers of the day as a proper, large grand tourer!

Just came across this thread via a thread on a Porsche 904 compared with a Porsche Cayman. Here’s a pic from the car port of our hotel owner in Toulouse this summer.

What do I win? ...... wink

I'm looking to get my youngest a VW Up! as a first car and one of my nephews sent me a link to a PH review of the up coming Up! GTI where they compare it to the original Golf GTI, we tend to view the Up! as being tiny these days, well it's wider, taller, has a longer wheel base and heavier than a Mk1 Golf. These days a Golf is several cars up VW's range from the entry level model. No wonder we were pleasantly surprised at how spacious it was in the back

At Kop hill climb a couple of years ago. I think there's a year's difference between the two so relevant to the thread whistle

The new Polo is bigger in every main dimension except length than a MK4 Golf

Just posted this on another thread, forgot I had this pic.

XJR-s and 2016 Mustang.

Not the length, (Jaguar is nearly 10cm longer than the Mustang), but the width (12cm narrower), and mainly the height (11cm lower)!
