Top gear is doing a feature on classic hot hatches tonight, comparing them to their modern equivalents, could be interesting.

I love old hot hatches, I had a Series 1 RST rep last year that I swapped for a Mini but would love some of these from this guy

Few pounds worth for sure, I'd be like a kid in a sweet shop

Seen plenty of standard Cosworths pretending to be RS500s Easy to do, just put on the extra lip spoiler on the boot and the RS500 decals. Externally no-one would tell the difference. However, under the bonnet, if there wasn't 8 injectors, then it wasn't a genuine 500. Upset a few people at cars shows by pointing this out. Not sure if they were trying to fool people or whether they had been duped themselves when they bought it.

Rare sight outside of the show circuit these days. Always wanted a VR6 Storm.
