Top 10: Modified cars that became classics
Almost since the motor car first arrived, people have wanted to modify them. Whether it was more performance they were after, or something a bit more stylish, the temptation to alter the original design has always been a strong one. And things were to reach their zenith in the 1970s and 1980s when all manner of cars - whether suitable or not - were subjected to the attention of the tuners.
From high-quality engineering to wild bodykits, there really was something for everyone, and while not all were tasteful they certainly added colour to the motoring landscape. Here then is a chance to take a trip down memory lane and re-visit some of our favourites.

Alfa Romeo Giulietta Turbodelta
Autodelta was responsible for pepping-up the pretty Giulietta, bolting a KKK turbocharger to the 2.0 litre twin-cam for a useful 168bhp that made the most of the agile handling. There was a more luxurious interior and with less than 400 made it’s rare, but the sonorous engine is the star here.
