That is awful and a waste of a spitfire

Jesus wept. It looks like a cross between a tractor, a shipping container and Jimmy Hill's chin!

My favourite line in the advert: "It's an ideal Christmas gift for car lovers."


Yeah, if you hate them!

Jay Leno or Brucie could be keen, the offer of £1 per mile delivery makes me want to start a collection to deliver it away from me, I'll put in £1000 to start.

Complete Horlicks of a car. Since the chassis must have been modified and there appears to be no Spitfire components, I am very doubtful that this car can be road registered in its current form. There may be a log book but who would seriously think that there is any real connection with this supposed donor car? I would think IVA would be required and I cannot see this getting through an IVA. Dead money IMO.

Other than the engine, gearbox, suspension, steering and brakes?

Now I have to go and buy a new WTF-o-meter as my current one just fried itself.

A car to be driven only by a Tex Avery cartoon character.

Surely, although this is a nightmare on the eyes and a complete abortion to be honest ... it must still be okay to have Triumph Spitfire on the V5 and MOT and get it tested as such. I was going to ask at what point does a car become something that it plainly isn't?

Otherwise how do things like the below get built and manage to run on the road?

What he means is he's rolled it. (I did the same with a supervan 3 back in the day)

Is that the car from the Inbetweeners in the background of the first picture?
