Oliver is Richard Hammond's beloved Opel Kadett that he purchased in Botswana and drove through a good chunk of the African continent. He went for a swim in the river at one point but still made it through (after replacing all the electricals) *

Shelby Cobra GT? Didn’t think it was on any TV shows but I remember someone I worked with long ago who always talked about a Shelby

 

[SFFMunkee]

yes please

The TV version was painted red, and had a machine gun in the bonnet instead of an air scoop.

Good thinking, while not a Shelby Cobra, it did have the same Ford sourced V8. Although much of the filming used a 4-cylinder stand-in (due to the aforementioned machine-gun).

With those clues, would it happen to be a car from a brand name (although unrelated entities) that also is known for;
-clear acrylic PC cases
-Home appliances

Sunbeam Tiger? Although the bonnet looks different?

 

[SFFMunkee]

Haha yes it is a Sunbeam Tiger, from Get Smart! (At least first couple of seasons)

I think JM was onto it too

::EDIT:: and yes probably showing our age but definitely Sunbeam were known for acrylic cases in the.. I want to say early 00s? (Back when we all had UV CCFL tubes in our PCs hahaha)

(Back when we all had UV CCFL tubes in our PCs hahaha)

Those fully acrylic cases were a definitely bit before my time, was still trying to piece together a working gaming pc from discarded office pc's/parts back then lol.

Although @confusis did definitely win, I'd be happy to contribute something as well.

Somewhat modified but there are recognizable bits left:
