Most of the Bad Ideas have at one point or another been built, so I will stick with something that I have whiffed before and failed to provide the final version. It will be based around the Austin FX4 London Black Cab, a vehicle that is not built for speed the most I ever achieved was 99.97mph with the Nissan 2.7L with a three speed automatic gearbox. Yes there was a hearse conversion and a soft-top,plus a long-wheel base but these were customised along with the van version. I'm thinking along the lines of a emergency response vehicle, yes I know that it doesn't have 4x4 but it did share the same engine with the Land Rover no not the V8. City Response version.

Something Kriegsmarine but with a Bismarck turret?  :o
Surprisingly, Drachinifel did his Rum Ration this past week on HMS X.1, which, other than the diesels, was actually a decent cruiser submarine.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Another idea of mine is the DMC DeLorean (DMC 12) good idea but badly put together. I have seen a few of them but never driven one. There's loads of videos on YouTube and the closest I got to driving one was in Real Racing 3 the online racing game. 
Parked next to an early Lotus Esprit and I can see where some of the styling clues came from, as this has to be a whiff the Triumph badge wouldn't look too out of place perhaps put the engine at the front, then there's plenty of space for the golf clubs!
