Number 10:

Ford Fiesta XR2 (1981 - 1983) With smart pepperpot alloys and centrally mounted foglights, there was no mistaking the XR2. Sadly it didn't sparkle because it was given a tame Kent 1.6 OHV engine and four-speed box.

Number 16:

Ford Tickford Capri (1984) With its vulgar white spoilered bodywork and a leather and walnut interior, the Tickford must have been a dream for an Essex wide boy. Still, at least the rear suspension was improved.

In at number 25 we have:

Ford Sierra RS Cosworth (1985 - 1986) With a mesh grille, vented bonnet and huge rear spoiler, the original RS Cosworth was definitely not for a shrinking violet, nor for the faint-hearted with 204bhp.

Number 26: even though everyone knows it's not a proper cosworth

Mercedes 190 2.5 16v (1985 - 1993) Mercedes got Cosworth to work its engine expertise on the 190. The result was a firecracker saloon with nearly 200bhp on tap, limited-slip differential and upgraded suspension.
