Sm best ever car in the 80s...........

[dem maser]

well since we started in the 50s and its a bit too far back i thought we do something recent.........

this requires thinking so ill post back with mine.........

E30 M3 is prob going to be it..............

 

[Andyk]

And for me Dem...Throughout the 80's I yearned for one...the racing pedigree, the way it drove and finaly got one in 1995.

Stunning Andy, a great Era for cars, 2 of my nominations, now before you start, yes i have nominated a Merc, i dont regard these cars as good as the M3 as the E30 M3 was always the ultimate, but these were 2 great cars and are quite iconic from this era and well respected today.

 

[dem maser]

Sort of with you on the audi but not the merc.....the audi im just agreeing not really liking it but its do able

 

[GransportFan1]

Your not an Audi fan are you Dem?? I nominated the Merc because of it's DTM racing success in the 80's.

As you say Adam....not as good as the E30 M3....Think I will leave it there.....

I admit I'm struggling too! Wasn't keen on the wedges or boxes of that era, some of the rally cars were good.

Integrale..Esprit to name but two....!!!!!....The 80's had some great performance cars.......

I was in my autoprime in the 80's , for me it has to be one of these






This was my one and only brand new car ever B44 TAS , great bit of supercharged kit for its time , in 1983 had a top speed of 137mph which in those days was fast , not a lot else touched it , trying to track it down now , apparently a member of the Lancia owners club has it , im waiting to hear if its purchaseable, handled like a dream on wheels

Had a few Porkers in the eighties ,a Targa first and then the 3.3 turbo complete with 80's whale tail , great fun but disappointing handling compared to the Lancia's i was used to

Cant disagree with you Frank , they were very prone to the 80's reclaimed steel era , fortunately the 1st missus worked for Zeibart ( the only positive thing she ever done ) and the car was fully waxoiled from new , her work colleagues went overboard knowing it was for me , and the blooody stuff was everywhere, the dealership at the time charged me £75 extra for 2 lots of Valetting ...................... hence probably the reason its still around now and by all accounts in very good shape

It was not a great time for Supercars, Ferrari made the Mondial, the least said about that the better, the 348 which is known as the poor mans 355 and the Testarossa which is ugly as sin. Lambo made the Countach, very nice

Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500, that was a good car, worth a fortune today.

Mmmmmmmmmmm great for 10 hours worth of driving Adam , whats the point of a pocket rocket that lasts as long as a damp firework , about as much use as a chocolate fireguard, but it did rally well tho
