I've got a bit of a soft spot for the Renault 19 and Citroen ZX. Can't be many left now!
How about the MG Maestro EFI and Turbo? Obviously they rusted for fun, but the tubby was a rocketship for the time, and even the regular MG was supposed to drive quite well:

It is, but they have grown on me recently. There's something about the Lego-brick looks. My mate rallied one in the early '90s and it looked decent on a set of Compomotive wheels (which he had custom drilled to suit its weird stud pattern
)

Was a great episode that. Love Jonny Smith's stuff.
I seem to remember that the Tipo 16v reviewed really well when it was new. Funny how it's been almost completely forgotten now.

Exactly like any aviation museum. Will need to recruit someone to clean and empty the trays.

So for a bit of fun here is some of the ideas of parts of the museum. Each section will have 5-10 cars.
So to start of
The first section is „Origin” the story of the Hot Hatch.
This is a section for the first of the Hot Hatch kind and the culture around Hot Hatches.
To start you off.
1. Mk 1 Golf GTI

It was only a 1.3 engine with 66hp tho, so even by the standards of the day it wasn't a hot hatch.

It wasn't bloody hot though. I bought a mint white one in 2000, took some finding as they were pretty rare even then and a month later one of the neighbours rocked up in an identical one! 😂
A few more for the museum.

Always wanted a K10 Super Turbo!
I had one and it was quite a fun little car. Not quick but nippy and fun to throw about.

Took a Mazda 323 4X4 in against an RS Escort Turbo and smoked that for 6 months. It was a bit different and a rare beast.
Similar situation with the Charade but ended up owning one for a year before trading it in for a 205 GTi. These were very quick little cars. Again rare as hen's teeth now.
I smoked one of these for a year. They never really took off and were a bit heavy, but the supercharger sounded pretty good. Another rare piece.
I loved my Scala. One of the best cars I owned. The build quality was on another level compared to the rest of the VW range. Heavy as hell, flat as a fart, but always drew attention.

Absolutely unreal cars. I popped the VTS in my three though as I had a Saxo myself 😂
