I have fond memories of Mk2 XR2s. Its true that they weren't as good at anything as a 205GTi, but I found mine more than nimble enough with 100bhp and about 850 kilos.

With regards to the opening post: it appears that I am driving around in a 1980s icon:

This appears to be a replica of German 1986 Turbo Cup car (or possibly an early Escort car?). I really want a bonnet which accurately replicates the pin recesses.

Agreed, it was the car everyone (who was anyone but not rich) owned at some point.

Mine was black

WTF? Three pages in and nobody has posted one of these? Crockett and Tubbs would be so disappointed...
