Rare indeed. I haven't seen a Chevette of any kind out in the wild since one of my secondry school teachers had a boggo one in poo brown. That was quite some time ago. She was a fit teacher :think:

The HSR was slightly longer in the wheelbase, than your standard Chevette, for rallying purposes, and they were always one of my favourite Rally cars, well spotted :)

I don't have a photo but I saw something today on the M62 that astounded me - a mk1 Honda Insight!

It was in that lime green and was tiny but looked so cool at the same time! I got home and couldn't even find one on autotrader/ebay, the only one I found for sale was this one:

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
