If Ineos were to resurrect any other car…

A more serious answer: Opel GT

I loved mine but I'm not sure I'd want a modern one. (Sold in 1998, when son was imminent).

I saw a Fiat 600 Multipla for the first time. Thank you reverse image search.
That would be a cool update.

As long as we pretend the last Fiat 600 never existed. It is the Italian Aztex

I'd go for a new Morgan Supersport if they would bring it to the US in a manual (they won't) and I think a troopy version of the Grenadier would be pretty cool too. But to answer your question:
  • MGB GT
  • Opel GT
 
Ineos should team up with a French leather atelier and release an updated version of the Velorex Oskar. Three wheels, leather bodywork, what more does a young boy need?

That is definitely a " marmite " car. My first reaction to your comment, " what more does a young boy need"? I was going to say their head examining, but now the more I look at it, I think yes I want one.
 
Selling when your son was imminent, was a bit premature, you had at least 17 years before he got to wreck it 😉😉
At the time I owned the Morgan and the Opel GT, my wife had a Peugeot 106 Rallye - none of those cars would work for a new baby and "stuff".

Advice from everyone we knew was buy the biggest car you can afford, so as our local Vauxhall dealer wanted the Opel, I ended up with a new Vauxhall Vectra Estate, (new in 1998, sold back to the dealer in March 2005 after the ABS unit had a fit).

Son, now 26, still has not learnt to drive.

Have you asked for a DNA test, or just put him up for adoption
 
Generation whatever they are a pretty apathetic group and a good handful of my students have no desire to drive. I'm sure many of us here were like me - I was chomping at the bit to get to drive and couldn't wait to take my tests and get my license.

It seems most teens dream is to summon their driverless blob, climb in, and arrive at their destination without ever looking up from their screen. I find that sad. Most now can't even find the way home without Siri guiding them.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go outside and look up hopefully to the sky for an asteroid.
