The debate over what is and what isn't a classic car is polarising to say the least. In my experience, those who know about cars and have mechanical know how etc are usually pretty agreed over what constitutes a robust and longlived and therefore classic design.

Of course the 200 series is a classic - over 2 million built over 20 years, iconic, tough, reliable and the initial platform for many modern car developments.

for me it is reliable, tough, classless, comfortable and safe transport that cost me tap all to buy and tap all to run -
