My Mum used to have a little Fiat 850 Sport Coupe, with a 1l engine. That needed 5*, and only one garage around Aylesbury sold it. That thing was, for what it was, a pocket rocket, and didn't disgrace itself one evening after a family evening out against my bro's Mk1 Golf GTi and another bro's 1.3 Chavalier. After 15 miles, all arrived home at same time, the Chavalier winning, having better top end on the A41(M) than the GTi :o.  The Fiat came last, but hung on.

Cracking little motor, until eventually, there wasn't enough rust to hold it together.

The 2 stroke shake making sure the correct amount was put in , too much and create a smoke screen for the boys in blue  :P
