The only conditions are that the car must be available and reasonable in price ie affordable for mere mortals, not Mrs Opti prices

So to set the ball rolling...

From the OOF pictures that I've seen, Mr TB is a decidedly portly man.....( Please note that I did not use the word fat)

Therefore he needs a spacious car.

How about a Honda Leg-end?

They are well built, reliable, and older examples can be picked up for Omega type money.
