I live in the UK, and grew up in the 90s watching television. There was a programme about a small classic car which would come to life and drive itself around. I also recall it’s headlights being emphasised as eyes, so it would move them around etc. It was a very small car, and it was kept in a yard of other cars, which it used to escape from to have ‘adventures’. I have a feeling the seats inside were red, if that jogs your memory.
