Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro the Volkswagen Golf was introduced as a small family car, to replace the Volkswagen Beetle. and was introduced in 1974. Basically the polar opposite to the Beetle the Golf was a front engined, water cooled, front wheel drive car.. with a hatchback body style. The car was well received and revived Volkswagons fortunes, after the sales decline of the long running and well loved Beetle.
The Golf GTi was introduced at the 1975 Frankfurt Motor Show as a range topping sporting option to the It was one of the first small cars to adopt mechanical fuel injection. standard cars. It was one of the first small cars to adopt mechanical fuel injection. They were powered by either a 1588 cc and 1780 cc four-cylinder engine, fed by a Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, which helped them develop a respectable 110 & 112PS and a lively performance thanks to its light weight (1780lbs). The term hot hatch was retroactively applied to the Mk1 Golf GTI some years later.
The AKAI GOLF
This car was created as a racing car for Richard Lloyd, prepared by Broadspeed and backed by Volkswagen GB. using a standard 1977 Golf 1600 GTi, the car went on to dominate its class in the British Saloon Car Championship for the next three seasons. Lloyd established the highly successful GTi Engineering and prepared a team of Audi GLEs for himself and Stirling Moss to drive in this season’s Tricentrol-backed Championship. Before his motor Racing career Lloyd was involved in pop star management, managing (the little known) Cliff Richard. Lloyd and the Golf came third overall in the 1977 British Saloon Car Championship and taking the Class Honours. Inspired by this and with support for another season forthcoming from VW, he set up GTi Engineering in March 1978 with Brian Ricketts They developed a brand-new GTi for the 1979 series and took the class again, together with second overall in the Championship. Lloyd used the same car, now with Akai as well as VW backing, to notch up his hat-trick of Championship class wins. This Group 1 GTi took 19 wins from 24 races in two seasons, which included one DNF, in fact it was only beaten by Win Percy’s Toyota. .

The first series delta was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and released in 1979 and introduced in Britain in 1980 they remained almost unchanged until 1986 with small changes to the body shape and engines were uprated. most Delta models were ordinary small family cars but like the Subaru Imprezza have remained more famous for the performance and rally cars
The Integrale was introduced in 1987 and for the first eight months was known simply as the HF 4WD with a 165bhp turbo charged engine. But it became the Integrale wearing flared arches and winning International rallies. Yet it had five doors and remained a practical family hatchback. In 1989 the power was increased to from 185bhp to 200bhp with a 16 valve head finally reaching 210bhp
At the September 1991 Frankfurt Motor Show Lancia introduced an heavily revised Delta HF,[once again named Delta HF integrale—but which became better known as HF integrale "Evoluzione" or simply HF integrale "Evo". . Evoluzione cars were built from October 1991 through 1992. At the end of the victorious 1991 World Rally Championship season, where the HF integrale 16v had won both the drivers' and manufacturers' championship, Lancia officially retired from rallying. The Evoluzione's engine was the same turbocharged 16-valve 2-litre used on the previous model, but power had increased to 210 PS. Mechanical changes included a strengthened steering rack and a power steering oil radiator, reworked and strengthened suspension The braking system featured larger diameter discs and vacuum servo, and fixed two-piston Brembo calipers at the front. No changes were made to the four-wheel-drive system. The wheel arch bulges were consequently extended and made more rounded the bodywork included a new bonnet, front and rear bumpers, box section side skirts, rear doors, and a rear spoiler. The front end was distinguished by twin, smaller diameter round headlamps he bonnet had a wider and taller hump, and new lateral air slats to further assist underbonnet ventilation. The roof spoiler above the tailgate was manually adjustable in three positions. he bonnet had a wider and taller hump, and new lateral air slats to further assist underbonnet ventilation.

Toyota GR Yaris (XP210) Circuit 4WD (2020-on) Engine 1618ccc G16E-GTS turbo S3 257bhp

The Toyota GR Yaris is a sport compact car manufactured since 2020 by Toyota with assistance from the company's Gazoo Racing (GR) division. It is a three-door hatchback which was designed to meet World Rally Championship (WRC) homologation rules. The GR Yaris is available with four-wheel drive alongside other significant modifications which differentiate it from the five-door XP210-series Yaris, with the rear of the car being based upon the larger E210-series Corolla.
Designed by Shota Ito, Takeo Okuno and Cho Byung-kan, The Gazoo Racing WRT team, led by team principal and 4-time WRC champion Tommi Mäkinen, was heavily involved in the design. The challenge was to build a car that was capable of being equipped to race at WRC events, but also suitable for daily driving. It was felt that unlike the standard Yaris the car needed to be three door, have four-wheel drive, a wider rear track and a double wishbone suspension layout to handle significantly increased torque. The design changes required that the GR Yaris be built on a combination between the front end of the standard Yaris' with the rear of the GA-C platform used by the Corolla, To save weight, the GR Yaris also uses aluminium for the front bonnet, boot lid and door panels. It also uses carbon fibre-reinforced plastic for its roof panel which was formed using the sheet moulding compound method
The production car is powered by a Gazoo Racing-built, turbocharged and direct/port-injected 1.6-litre G16E-GTS three-cylinder engine that produces 257 to 268 hp (261-272 PS) varying due to emissions regulations in certain markets. The engine is mated to a 6-speed V16-series intelligent manual transmission, and GR-Four permanent four-wheel drive system. It has a claimed 0-62 mph (0-100kmph) acceleration time of 5.2 to 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 143mph

There are some cars I never see at American classic car shows, despite their increasing vintage and scarcity. Chrysler K-cars, Ford Pintos and Tempos, and Chevrolet Chevettes are examples that come to mind. They were models that never quickened the car enthusiast’s pulse and unlike other makes that were once reviled in popular opinion (Edsels most notably), these cars remain impervious to nostalgia. The Dodge Omni of the late 1970s/1980s is another of the seemingly Unforgiven.
This sighting at a Lakeland FL car show broke that Omni Duck (to use cricketing terminology), but it was not a regular production model but a limited edition Shelby GLH-S of 1986. It incorporated a 2.2 litre intercooler turbo engine plus a sporting suspension. Branded as a Shelby, it is said that GLH-S stood for “Goes Like Hell S’more”. Production was limited to 500 examples.
Pictured is a 1/43rd scale model of a Ford Focus RS. I have converted it into a police vehicle which was loaned to forces across the county by Ford UK.
The model has accurate battenburg markings, high vis yellow bonnet wrap and number plates with GB identifiers.
A picture of the real vehicle can be seen here: flic.kr/p/XaJMW1
About 12.100 cars were made between 1993 and 1995.

The Rover 200 BRM was a developement of the R3 series Rover 200. The car was first shown at the 1997 Frankfurt Motorshow and following a good reception from press and public alike that after a year of development the Rover 200 BRM LE was officially launched at the British Motor Show in October 1998. It was based on the on the range-topping Vi model but with 1960's BRM styling cues. The engine was the familiar 145 PS (107 kW) 1.8-litre VVC K-Series. nside, there were red quilted leather seats and door panels, red carpet, seat belts and steering wheel. Alloy heater controls and turned aluminium trim. The exteriors were Brooklands Green, nside, there were red quilted leather seats and door panels, red carpet, seat belts and steering wheel. Alloy heater controls and turned aluminium trim.
The ride height was lowered 20mm over the Vi and improved damping and handling, a close-ratio gearbox with a TorSen differential further developed from the Rover 220 Turbo, reduced torque steer and improved straight-line stability.
Initially priced in 1998 at £ 18000 excluding extras such as air conditioning, passenger air bags and CD player. The steep price was originally slashed to £16,000 and when the Rover 25 was launched, this was cut to £14,000 to get rid of vehicles still lingering in showrooms. Of the 1145 built 350 were allocated to overseas markets leaving just 795 for the UK marketplace.

CHRYSLER SET

Originally launched as the Hillman Avenger by the Rootes Group in 1970, as a rear wheel drive, small family car, with the advertising tag - The Myth Exploder, and available as a Saloon or Estate car with 1248cc or 1498cc S4 OHV engines.
Rootes production of the Avenger spanned 1970-76 before the Coventry based operation was taken over by Chrysler of Europe, who continued with production at Ryton-on-Dunsmore, Coventry between 1976-79. Unlike any previous Rootes design, there were no "badge-engineered" Humber or Singer versions in the UK market.
From 1976 under Chrysler stewardship the model was rebadged and had a comprehensive face lift, including new frontal treatment, a new dashboard. The greatest changes were at the rear where distinctive light cluster was replaced and the fuel filler cap moved from the rear to the right hand side. During this period the "Avenger" was exported to the USA as the Plymouth Cricket.,
Following the departure of Chrysler the Avenger continued in production under new owners Talbot between 1979-81 under the Talbot brand with the Avenger remaining in production alongside the hatchback-only Horizon to meet the demand which remained for traditional saloons and estates in this sector Unlike newer Talbot models such as the Horizon, the Avenger and Sunbeam retained the Chrysler "Pentastar" badge, instead of the Talbot logo featuring a letter "T" inside a circle. Production continued until the middle of 1981, when PSA closed the Linwood production plant and concentrated all British production at the Ryton plant
Even then the car continued to be produced in Argentina as the Dodge 1500 between 1971-88
Chrysler retained ownership of the "Avenger" trademark, subsequently used on the Dodge Avenger 2007–2014.

The PTS 125 Kit was sold in the Peugeot Talbot network from the end of 1984 to the end of 1986. It was sold at a price of 11 808 F, to be added to the 72 500 F of a new 205 GTI. It was developed by the tuner Danielson, who only intervened at the level of the cylinder head. The valve diameter was increased, the camshaft was reworked and the exhaust and intake ducts were optimised. The head gasket has been refined to increase the compression ratio. As a result, the XU5J’s power output has been increased from 105 to 125 bhp and the maximum rpm from 6600 to 6900. This kit could be assembled on a new 205 or on a car already in circulation. This assembly also required a complementary approval by the Mines with a riveted plate in the engine compartment and the modification of the type on the registration card (741C66 MO for modified). A distinction was made if the kit was mounted on a new car or a car already in circulation. In the case of new cars, the plate indicated «additional approval», whereas in the case of cars already in circulation, the plate indicated «prototype approval». The presence of this plate and the modified type on the vehicle registration document therefore formally identify a genuine 205 GTI Kit PTS. According to the former Danielson boss, the contract for the PTS kit was for the production of 1800 cylinder heads.
The example we present is a 205 GTI 1.6 put on the road on 18 January 1985. As the PTS plate indicates, the kit was ordered when the car was purchased by its first owner. This car is now in very good condition, the body is very sound and the bodywork has been repainted in 2018 in its original onyx black colour. The interior is still in its original state, only the driver’s seat has been completely restored in August. Mechanically, many parts have been replaced, so this car works perfectly. At the wheel we could appreciate the pleasure of the PTS kit which brings more response at high revs. Its exacerbated temperament and its rarity make it certainly the most exotic of the 205 GTI 1.6.

- The best hot hatch of its time
- Enviable condition
- Owned since new by Renault Sport
At the start of the 1990s, the V10 Renault enjoyed a string of successes in Formula 1: in 1990, Nigel Mansell won 10 races for Williams-Renault and in 1993, Alain Prost secured his fourth title as World Champion in the same team.
It was in this context that the Clio Williams was launched, following on from the Clio 16S. It was a homologation model, of which at least 2500 had to be built to satisfy the motorsport regulations, but given the commercial success this brilliant little car enjoyed, a total of more than 12,000 were sold, in two successive series. It certainly had plenty of appeal, with its 2-litre 16-valve 4-cylinder engine producing 150bhp and taking it to a top speed of 215kph. It was particularly well finished, with attractive Williams blue paintwork, set off by exclusive gold Speedline wheels and inside, blue-faced instrument dials, blue carpets and bucket seats with the Williams ‘W’ logo.
Used from new by Renault Sport’s engineers as a staff car, this Clio Williams has been well preserved in its original condition, inside and out. The odometer is reading 83,030km, which is undoubtedly the total from new. All the model’s special features have been retained, without any significant changes. It is a fine representative of one of the greatest hot hatches of all time, which had an illustrious career in rallying, driven by Philippe Bugalski and Alain Oreille.

The Toyota Starlet was a sub compact, small family car, manufactured between 1973-99 over five generations. The first generation Starlet was sold as the Publica Starlet in some markets. It was also the first subcompact car from a Japanese automaker to offer a high-performance variant. These were available in three generations: the 1986–1989 Turbo S (EP71), the 1990–1995 GT Turbo (EP82), and the 1996–1999 Glanza V (EP91).
The Starlet 80 series was introduced to the Japanese market in December 1989. It featured a more rounded body style and interior. Japanese models received new twin cam engines: 4E-F, 4E-FE and turbocharged 4E-FTE. Export models retained the 1E and 2E engines, and the special version 4E-FE (only for UK and Hong Kong facelift models)
The Starlet GT Turbo is a high performance model of the fourth generation Starlet, first introduced in 1990 as a successor to the 70 series Starlet 1.3 Turbo R. The EP82 GT Turbo was powered by a turbocharged version of a Toyota's E Engine, the 4E-FTE with a CT9 turbocharger. This engine produced 135 PS The car weighed in at 890 kilograms (1,962 lb). It also featured active suspension technology continued from the previous generation, called TEMS. As with other Japanese market Starlets, the GT Turbo received minor changes in January 1992 which included new bumpers and rear combination lamps. The second minor change was given in May 1994, this time with four round quad headlights combined with the mesh grille. The tail lights remained the same, but the full length centre garnish was replaced by the small ones on each side.
