It's definitely a Peugeot, and I think the model could be a 106 - my sister had one years ago. Nippy, good-handling little cars (not nippy enough to get out of the way of a speeding motorcycle, obviously!).
The giveaways are the Peugeot lion on the centres of the wheel trims, the Peugeot lion on the tailgate lift handle, the Peugeot trademark rear light clusters and C-pillar design.

I was thinking Peugeot as well, but didn't know the model. Nice pull by the UK guys.

Yeah, that's my guess, too........a Peugeot 106, but from the side it looked at first like a Geo Metro 3-door.
That biker must have been going pretty fast when he T-Boned the car. If he survives (and let's hope so), he's got some explaining to do.

I was wondering about the safety quality of the car.
At first, I thought it was a micro-compact like the SMART. I thought about the safety features of such a car, such as side-impact control.
