Apart from the Clio Williams what other classic hot hatches tickle your fancy? Personally im a big fan of Andreas' Renault 5 GTT.

Would anyone else consider this a classic now?

With a limited number available and lots of dogs out there then yeah I suppose it does fall into the classic category. Wouldnt mind one myself!

Did you sell your Williams turbominicooper?
5 turbo for me too. Not a chaved up body kitted mess though, it would have to be standard.
heres my other hot hatch original XR3 carb version

na kept it mate, might have to sell in the summer cause wont have the space once my lease is up
Uno turbo ie, pug 205 gti, valvers, williams, rs fiestas, and of course mk1 golf gti, they are what i think of when someone says hot hatch. With the modern stuff i just think its too big to be called a hot hatch. For example focus rs, vxr astras etc, the only recent one that is small enough to be a hot hatch is the twingo rs, and maybe a vxr corsa.
Lancia delta evo for me...worth more every year that goes past!

In the same vein, I find it offensive that a mk3 is even called a clio

I have one of these
a stonking Ford and I think a for sure investment.
northy, I had a Lagos blue evo 2 intergrale and sold it 4 years ago and I regret it every day!
I also have a Racing Puma, very rare and an excellent solid drive. Hopefully a good investment as very underrated as the Williams is.

my cousin has a racing puma.. lovely looking cars, they come close to the same driving pleasure as to the willy & valver hybrid gang.. lots of grip but i wasnt sure about the power delivery from it.. but with a decent set of tryes..its on rails.. throw it in to a corner and not even worry about going straight on into the hedge/tree/wall.. the interior is just so... so.. so Ford. :neutral:
this is my renault 11 turbo phase 16186
Nissan Sunny GTI-R, Mazda 323 GT-R, both Turbo powered and 4WD;-)

I think the ultimate for me is a Renault 5 gt turbo 2
so if anyone knows of one going cheap, let me know LOL
Simon
Lets not forget the Granddad that spawned all of the above - Renault 5 Gordini (and Turbo)

An Integrale Evo 2 is probably the one I'd most like to own.
As for 'classic' hot hatches, this is over 45 years old now so must pre-date all of the above:
