Last week of the summer hols, late 1980s: a Renault 21 Nevada/Savanna, boiled sweets in the carpet, a dog that definitely wasn’t staying in the boot, Simon Bates’ Our Tune on the radio – and the certain prospect of congestion on the A303 at Stonehenge.

#Petrolspot: Chevrolet Matiz. The Fiat 500 that never was. The Pontiac nobody asked for. Designed by Giugiaro. Respect.
