Also a black Fiat Barchetta with hardtop, Austin A30 and a red MGB roadster with minilites.
Renault 5's in both saloon & van form are still two-a-penny here, not surprisingly, as also are Peugeot 205's. We have '91 205 Junior as our local runaround & it's given us six years unblemished service so perhaps not surprising they are so popular. Don't know if it'll ever make classic status as there are simply so many of them. GTI's, particularly unmolested ones, and Cabriolets have reached that elevated state though.
