The epitome of 80's

[neutral 3]

And of course, these. I had about 15 R5GT Turbos over the years, the first was a very early 86 Phase 1. Loved them.

Isn't that a Vauxhal Calibre, not a Cav SRi?

Think you might be right, was just a random google image I grabbed. I'm blaming the wine.

Late late reply, but just noticed this thread.

It's not a calibre, it's just a Cav with a really really st bodykit.

Irmscher were the business back in the day though.

Yes, early 1986 style!
That 81/82 Martini Turbo belonged to the 25 year old in the middle !

That's good going. Nice colour and wheel choice too.

Could you get any more 80 than an 80 in the 80s?

Looks like a Harris, that MK1 had a screaming 302 V8 IIRC if it dont rev its not an Harris build

[Mr Tidy]

These were a couple of cars I owned in the 80s, that seem to define the decade pretty well!

The Escort was mine but that Capri wasn't, although my 2nd one had the same colour scheme (my 1st was Strato Silver).

Great photo !
MK1V and V Cortinas used to be seen everywhere!
I had NGJ 28P, which was a November 75 Kawasaki H1F 500 triple. It's a Sth West London issue plate.
