A minor facelift means a new grille for the soft-roader, plus revised lights, 16-inch alloys, a hard spare wheel cover and wider arch projectors. The diesel variant, which covers 0-60mph in 10.6 seconds and returns 39.8mpg, gets a tailgate spoiler. Cabin revisions include better materials and instrumentation. Petrol models go on sale in November from í‚á£17,600, a slight increase over the existing car.

The family of the artist, who died in April 1973, agreed to his name being written on Citroen"s compact MPV at launch five years ago, as long as another word was also used. That"s why the Xsara Picasso badge was created. But, as the Xsara has been axed, bosses are thought to favour a totally new name.

A company spokesman said: "It"s something that could happen. If there is enough interest in one, we will probably do it."

These pictures show two options for the TVR bike, produced by one of the firm"s ex-designers, Glynn Kerr. The red one is a high-performance rival to another British machine, the Triumph 955, and the legendary Honda Fireblade. In order to compete, the TVR would require a power output of more than 150bhp, a 0-60mph sprint time of around three seconds and a maximum speed in excess of 160mph.

But while a superbike is most in keeping with TVR"s image, an unfaired urban machine could be a possibility, too. These types of motorcycle are increasing in popularity, as their engines" mix of a large capacity and a high torque figure are great around town.
