For sale: The Vauxhall Chevette HS2300 - homologation hot hatch hero, yours for the price of a GR Yaris
It's hard not to be intrigued by even the unsuccessful homologation specials. Those cars that maybe didn't succeed on stage or circuit remain interesting purely for the intent they showed. Maybe a Nissan Pulsar GTI-R, Mazda Familiar GT-R or Citroen BX 4TC aren't the most decorated race cars out there, but they at least suggest there was once an ambition to succeed at the crucible of motorsport. And that's a cause we can all get behind.
The road car was a ripper; the 2.3-litre, 16-valve slant four was fully a litre larger than the engine offered in a standard Chevette, with 140hp. The suspension was uprated, as was the transmission, and, of course, the HS2300 received one of the most iconic cosmetic makeovers ever seen for a hot hatch. Who knew Silver Starfire and tartan would work so well? In 1980 Car Magazine rated the HS above rivals from Renault, VW, Peugeot, Fiat and Talbot in a hot hatch grudge match.
