TVR IS KING

The pinkness... our eyes... make it stop...
Come on Barbie, let's go parking
Calling a small convertible a girl's car would land us in trouble with our female audience and no doubt mark us out as gender-bashing dinosaurs.
That hasn't stopped one Nissan dealer from seeking out a Barbie Doll buyer for its special edition pink Micra C+C with the registration BAR81E.
Under normal circumstances, you'd baulk at paying £14,750 for a pink Micra drop top, but this one is up for grabs at the bargain price of £36,250 courtesy of the number plate being valued at £21,500.
There is an upside, though, as the owner of the registration plate says he'll donate its value to Breakthrough Breast Cancer if anyone buys the car.
So, if you know a leggy blonde with more plastic than sense, we know just the car for her.
Pretty funny article really.
