As was said earlier Yugos grew out of the Fiat 124 and there were also Yugo versions of the Uno, I think. There is also a pretty healthy Yugo racing and hillclimbing scene in the former Yugoslavia. One company, Jupiter Racing, makes its living from developing and selling performance parts for the Fiat SOHC (as used in many Fiats, early SEATs and Yugos) so its probably an important part of the Fiat story, and a source of prformance parts for some Fiats and may be a "classic" for that reason. The Yugo "story" is also an important part of European history. I take the point that cars that are considered as "classics" should probably have been considered good cars in the first place but some cars are classic without being very good at all (Morgan anybody!!). Perhaps Yugos are "historics" cars, if not necessarily "classic" cars?
