Lots of interest in these cars on this forum Lee 
There are several threads around about certain cars that will be making a comeback at some point, have you seen the pics of the Escat ?

Hi mark yer that's classic thunder I used to be in it there's no classic about it now ex touring cars sneraking in.
ctcrc put the name classic thunder an added saloons years later but
The modern stuff in there to me isn't a thunder saloons
cscc have got a good idea on a cut off date now keep cars out like dave tetleys manta stars an stripes mike bratbys imp an mini skoda's mk2 escorts
Classic thunders just like euro saloons really
Still good varients are fantastic an each car is special but there way of the mark now calling it thunder saloons
