On the front page of the tomtom site, it looks like either a red tr6 or
a sunbeam, not sure I am sure others will know better :-)

Somewhere on their site they had the spitfire as well.  Just picked up
the 730 :-)  what goes better with a spitfire, darth vader voices :-)

The trouble with using a Spitfire to hawk GPS systems is that there was
no
cigarette lighter socket installed to power the system.

We were shopping at our local Costco (a large bulk item store for those
of
you who arent familiar with the name) and as I passed by a row of GPS
devices, something caught my eye.  I glanced back and sure enough, on a
poster board about three foot square, with a Tom-Tom GPS attached to the
top of it, was a large photo of an early white MK4 Spitfire on a country
road.  A full three quarter back right side shot, about two feet long.
I
of course shrieked to my wife,  HEY DEAR, LOOK which caused a few
people
to suddenly look over to see what I was apparently so excited about.
They
probably thought I was excited about the GPS  but we all know what I
was
really looking at!!  My wife of course noticed that it was occupied by
two
girls, silly me for not noticing It was pretty cool
