Make: Sunbeam

Model: Imp Sport

Introduced: 1966

Even the standard Imp was great fun to drive, if horrifically unreliable. This tweaked edition could do 90mph though, but best of all was the more sportily styled and bizarrely named Stiletto of 1968, with its coupé-like lines.

Blasts from the pasts that i am sure many of us remember or have owned one in the past,these are iconic cars that are getting rarer and rarer,my daily driver is a "J" reg st182 Toyota Celica GTi that goes like a rocket and still looks good after 20 years.If i had a chance of a new shaped car i would have to give it serious thought,they just do not do it for me.

I have owned a Skoda Fabia VRS from new and it has proved the best purchase I have made that has come with four wheels...

GTi - the Golf defined the genre.

Have to say the Sunny/Pulsar was bonkers, but my favourite was the Lancia Delta Integrale Turbo

Too bad they missed out the Toyota Starlet GT Turbo (1990-1995) - 1330cc, 133bhp, reliable, tunable, great handling. Similar to the Renault 5 Turbo and Fiat Uno Turbo, but with far better reliability.
