I dont even have a picture or i would have found out by now
but its been playing on my mind for a few weeks and i cant for the life of me remember its name!
its a 1970's classic i think, with a 1.3 engine, and because it weighed so little, the weightower ratio was incredible it did really well in hill-climbs.
i think it came on the top gear hill climb event Vs the pug 306 V6
does any1 know what im talking about here?

would love to see a episode of top gear dedicated to how the car scenes changed over the years, i.e outrageous body-kits and 5" exhausts to coil-overs and cammed turbo lumps
or even see something such as the likes of speckys tigra against some super car, and piss on it
