That one is 43 years old so yes it is a classic car.
Being a MK1 it is quite the survivor as those early cars had questionable build quality.

Yes It was the 9th best selling car in the UK in the 1990's they never go wrong or break down or need any new parts broadly speaking.
Rust protection is much better after 1987.
The 343 was the European rallycross champion in 1980 with Gordini Tuning and turbo parts on the 1397cc Renault based engine around 250 bhp and the standard 50-50 weight distribution .
The Renault 1397 cc engine met with a few Volvo improvements , better quality Valves and pistons and bearing shells.which made them last forever..
