Hammerhead I-eagle thrust!!!!?? Wonder if someone has bought it to re-use the TVR chassis in a TVR :p

That numberplate is still registered as "TVR TV CHIMAERA 2DR"

Was just writing a post along the same lines. Also, how can Geoff have kept the same registration as the TVR?

Allegedly, all vehicles use on Top Gear are crushed.

The Hammerhead Eagle I Thrust or whatever is a real shed. It's a pity that they used the IVA loophole by not changing the chassis because it's not really roadworthy.

Some of the Top Gear left overs are at http://www.beaulieu.co.uk/attractions/world-of-top-gear.

Nope, they're at Beaulieu

Since not even the dodgiest used car dealers would buy them, we’ve collected all the battered, modified and generally
