Each of these five has a normally aspirated engine up front, a manual ‘box and rear drive. It's a fun but endangered species, as James Disdale reports PHOTOGRAPHY OLGUN KORDAL. Sketch out in your head the perfect mechanical specification for your ideal driver's car. One that's everyday accessible and can be enjoyed on the majority of UK roads. Not a hyper car or some other exotic, but a balanced, approachable and engaging machine to be enjoyed any time and anywhere. So what have you got? Rear-wheel drive is a definite, as is a manual gearbox. And the engine is more than likely at the front, isn't it? It'll be naturally aspirated, too, for its purity and response. Sounds good, doesn't it? Now try to find a new model that meets that brief.
