P805 TMR is now a manual 855R with M59 gearbox. Mechanically tip-top but bodywork still on the list of things to do.

That's the one. 215102 on the mileage. It's got my old T5 engine in it which was on162k. I've got a later 2.3l reconditioned engine with ported head lined up to go in soon.

I owned this for a while, may or may not be on the list... however it was last seen with a broken rear axle somewhere near the source of the Nile. Probably safe to say it's long dead and buried now.

Absolutely loved that car, it was the best one I've ever owned.

Now have this, it will more than likely be on the list as it was previously owned by Scott, aka the Flying Banana... if not, happy to PM some details.

Picture credit goes to Ade!

Out of pure interest Dave, did you know its fate when you sold it to the beeb?

I never washed it, I couldn't do that to myself

They said they wanted it for a piece in the next series and given I really didn't want to sell it (ironically the reason to get rid was she was driving it daily and had marked the bumper and kerbed a wheel!) so, I offered to loan it to them and they went "Ehhhh, no... it's kinda going abroad" and I was like "It's so f**ked now!" But no, there was no indication of what it's fate was at the time. Sod it, she went down fighting. That said, I did leave the room when the bumper grounded out for the first time... it was a noise I had heard many a night as she parked /grounded it out on in the drive with all the grace and precision of a late night ram raid on PC World. Ho hum.

It was quite horrible to watch it wrecked for TV entertainment, what a waste of a nice set of Volans too - Can you tell us what was paid for it? I was amazed it sold for 'under £1500'...

Finally got a pic! I haven't even had a chance to begin working on the car to fix the imperfections. I can't wait to get started on it but I have a house to decorate first!!

My boy is a petrol head too as you can see lol

N 850GGK 855 T-5R in Olive was almost needing to be removed from this list, as it was very close to being reduced to scrap yesterday morning, but lucky survived with just a few battle scars......lucky
