Safe to say I know nada about cars and just got my first car 3 months ago, VW polo 1996, which is running great I reckon and am going to hold onto it for another few months til I'm completely happy with my driving.
But during the week I saw a gorgeous car, kind of vintage looking, small, and orange and it got me wanting to change my car to this. But I've no clue what kind of car it is!
I was just wondering if anyone knows any nice vintagey kind of cars that fit that very vague I know description?!
It was the size of a toyota starlet but a much funkier and modern design, but the car was definitely at least 8-10 years old I'd reckon. or can you recommend a nice looking and small enough vintage car.
would really appreciate the help!

Was it a convertible?

Could possibly be a Nissan Figaro:

Or Honda Beat:

Or Suzuki Cappuccino:

Really need more details.

That would have been my first guess. Based on the micra I think? Don't think it came in an orange colour originally though.

pog it - check the classic cars forum, you'll get lots of ideas for small classic cars there. You may need a modern car as your main car if you want to get classic insurance on an older car.
