Good grief - I've always been fond of that shape of Colt. I'm surprised it does so badly!

Mind you, all old cars tend to fare badly. The first car I bought as a teenager was a Fiat Cinquecento (a Sporting with a tarmac-mangling 55bhp no less!!) . There's a Euro ncap test of the facelift, called the Seicento, here. Same chassis but smoother bodywork. Looking at the video and then thinking of the.... err.... exuberance with which I used to drive that frantic little thing is a little bit sobering!!
