I think I must be out of touch - a Fiat Siecento is worthy of being in a car show?
Someone had parked it there with £995 in the screen... Cheeky cheap mass marketing.
20 year old car of which most have been turned into razorblades and they're fun to drive; modern 'classic' at least.

I agree, that looks really modern in a funny way. What is different to it and a standard Spitfire? More pics please.

It's a Mk4 but it has a GT6 bonnet and Mx5 seats... (In fact the bonnet, quarter valences and rear panels are all GRP now, which gives me a few less areas to worry about rusting).

I have plans, involving an oxblood leather seat retrim, to match the oxblood leather and wood dash.

It smells like a real car.

Ah yes, the unmistakable smell of a proper car. A mix of fuel, oil, and old carpets!

And where are those additional pics?! Please!

I really like them - not seen one in years, though.
100% classic in my mind. beer

Sorry but that's not a classic it's just an old vanilla flavoured hatchback, why is everything over 20 years now a classic car, it's all gone bananas.

I agree and I'm quite a francophile!

Edited as I'm a bit of a nob and quoted the wrong quote!

Just to be clear, my 'done yet?' question was to Sterilium for pictures of the GT6.

The AX is a GTI ,not some poverty model.

Classic in my book but I also like to think my Barchetta is borderline classic at 20yo.
