The Sierra really was controversial, I loved the look as it looked futuristic but the neighbours (who had a late model cortina) weren’t so impressed. I can’t think of a recent new car that caused a similar stir or such strong options? Maybe the Puma to a lesser degree?

I think the Focus caused a similar stir as it replaced the Escort. I really liked the MK1 Focus and I owned one for about 8 years.

I did a list quite a few years ago on another car forum as I’ve always been a petrolhead. I thought I was getting on a bit but some of the cars listed are well before my time or even my dad’s time :lol:

I’ll never remember all the cars so I’ll list some of the more interesting ones going back about 25 years. Prior to that it was mainly Fords including about 3 Orion Injection Ghia’s, an XR3i, Granada Scorpio 2.9i and Sapphire 2.0i Ghia 4x4.

There’s been a lot of cars prior to this and a fair few in between and some I’ve probably forgotten but mostly more regular models. My first car was a Mini Clubman which I loved and had the usual boy racer type stuff and I passed my test in. My second was a Fiat 127 1300GT which was a lot more modern than the Mini and thought was really fast at the time when I was 17 :D
