    Great pick!

    The Twingo was very polarising at Renault in its day. It was a fresh air through the make’s boring boxy designs of the day and it can be had with a fully opening roof (not a convertible).

    They may well give off the same vibe in 20 years as the 2cv does today. A more modern body and suspension with a happy face but less impressive history. They are not considered memorable today but I wouldn’t mind seeing them around on oldtimer shows.

    Given the tiny engine, I suspect fuel consumption will be ok and it may thus be converted a few years down the line when it is cheaper.
