Just found this photo of my sons Polo after he rammed it into the side of a milk float.

He drove it home the 5 miles in this state.

VW quality!

That's because the radiator forms part of a TVRs crash structure. It's part of the lightweighting techniques TVR spearheaded! wink

I see what you did there, using the American spelling, so much irony.

Actually TVRs have some history in this:-

1971 - An M Series car was sent to the Motor Industry Research Association in 1971 for crash testing, and it was the only vehicle that remained steerable after a 30 mph (48 km/h) front-end collision with a concrete wall

1973 - 11 May A RUC officer, John Kirkpatrick, was seriously injured by a car bomb which detonated as he attempted to start his TVR 1600M outside of 79 Eglantine Avenue in Belfast. He survived, would have probably died if he had been in a 'normal' car

Good your son was fine, so...

"'Tis but a scratch."
"A SCRATCH? Your front-end's off"
"No it isn't."
"Well, what's that then?"
"I've had worse."
