Not sure exactly, but I know it wasn't a saab and they certainly didn't do a
> brown one...
The car was a faded metallic brown, so it could have been another colour and quickly repainted. Some effort had been made to hide whatever it was...
maybe it was a TR7...
Not pointy enough, and too large...
Richard
Yes they did, I know someone who has (a metallic brown) one sitting in his drive.
You didn't see the programme. obviously, did you !....
I would have said Saab, even the back end didn't look wrong, considering it was a convertible.
It was a toyota celica cabrio mocked up for an advert some while ago, a dealer turns into a cowboy and the car goes up and down on a pole.

Oh! What advert? If this is true then a: my car spotting skills are bang on, and b: my girlfriend is /wrong/ :D
You know, I've checked pictures, and I am /so/ right. The rear 3/4 view is unmistakeable.

Agreed. The Saab 900 convertible (classic version) was based on the Saab
900 Saloon, not the 900 hatch (obviously) so it does look a little odd.For the record, I'm sure it was a 900 too, I commented to the missus about it.
At the risk of being obvious, why not contact Top Gear and ask them?

AOL. But not obviously to your missus.
No need - it's definitely a Celica. I've compared as many pictures as I can find online, and it's clear that the Top Gear car had painted on headlights ;)
