Isn't that a Chavette?

Wasn't that a nasty little Vauxhall hatchback?

The HS was neither nasty nor little! It was only displaced by the
appearance of the all-conquering Audi Quattro, and both HS and HSR
versions are now valuable classics. Unfortunately, a lot of standard
'Shoveits' were Chavised with big wheels and plastic 'droopsnoot'
noses - indeed, they were direct ancestors of the bright orange Corsas
with DTM wings and dustbin exhausts which plague our streets today....

I'm seeing quite a few 350Zs around, and a small car with a big engine
and rear drive is starting to bring back fond memories.....
