Those are some lovely humble looking hatchbacks from the olddays. I quite like the Renault 5 and Fiat Uno. Thanks for sharing these everyday heroes which otherwise get neglected by most of us in favour for modern hypercars and exotics. 🥰

 

I have re-started collecting 1/24th scale models again in diecast! Very nice seeing this EU trio! 😊 🥂

 

The last gen Uno was made in India upto the early 2000s. We almost got it when it was launched in the late 90s but we're discouraged by the high selling price and poor service. One of my neighbor's had it till about the mid 2000s. It was a solid car when it lasted.
I had a HW of the Renault 5 in green. It came free with a pack of Maggi noodles with the Maggi logo emblazoned on the bonnet.

 

Great stuff! If they make a Fiat Uno Turbo i.e you'll have to get one, so you have a three hot hatch line up. The Uno Turbo wasn't very common, but a few people had them. They are pretty cool!

 

The early issue versions of many of these small cars have opening bits and rudimentary engine details.
I have a 1/24th scale VW Golf GTi somewhere, I need to take a photo to add to the images - if Scuddy has no objections.

 

You know you're getting old when the cars you owned new are 'classics'!

I had a Renault 5 GT Turbo and my wife a FIAT Uno!

Most certainly haha when you realised that most of your hero cars while growing up are now qualified for "classic" or "vintage" concession at your DMV.

I forgot that this was for 80's only when lining these up (all 1/24th scale)

Those 1/24 lineup look sweeet! The red Alfa does look like it has put on a bit of weight compares to other slim hatchbacks LOL

As such, pretend the red Alfa isn't in the photo.... :>)

 

Hey Slart; post what you wish. The thread’s certainly not limited to 80s hatches; it merely started there

 

Scuddy, do you think a Renault 4 is a hatchback?
The rear door is more like what you used to see on Transits - hinged to open upwards.....
The Integrale had paint rash when it arrived, so I stripped it and painted it a sort of gunmetal.

 

Never really thought about the R4 to be honest, Slart. I guess a hatchback is defined more by the shape of its rear than where the door is hinged. Who makes the Giulietta? And have you lowered the Golf a bit? Nice line up

The Alfa was originally part of the Quattruote Alfa Romeo 100 collection, and was then released by bBurago (same model).

The golf was lowered, when I was working on a repair of some sort (I think one of the doors was loose).

 

Modelissimo have more 1/24th scale Hatchette Opel models for sale discounted at the moment.

 

Thank you, Slart! I’ll take a look
