This is a properly spine-tingling head-to-head, set on some of the UK’s best roads.

There is nothing like the astonishing Golden Sahara II, and now the long-lost darling of the ’60s custom circuit has returned to the spotlight.

As dazzling now as it was when new, Greg MacLeman gets under the skin of this Lincoln Capri-based flight of fancy.

It’s MG Midget vs Honda S800 vs Fiat 850 in this tiddlers triple test.

These three prove that frugal but fast-appreciating open-top fun is available in the world of classic cars, and that small can still mean bags of fun.

But can Simon Charlesworth pick a winner? He starts deliberating from p116.
