Two choices for me.

The Old Spice Alfa 155



Or the 850 Volvo estate

The exact two I would have narrowed it down to.

Ditto.

Unruly on the road but together on the track. Sneaky Doly Sprint in the background as well

Is there anything more manly than a Capri race car with 'Brut' written all over it?

That's fantastic!

I guess the car that had the biggest impact on me was Matt Neal's Nissan Primera... I probably took notice of it as it because of the Max Power sun strip and I was about 13 at the time.

I'm guessing that most of those people who aren't voting for the Sierra RS500 weren't born then?

[TrickyTrevM5]

Always loved the Andy Rouse Kaliber RS500s but didn't have the same appeal as the E30s

[Mr.Jimbo]

What is the most successful touring car then? I'm going to say Ford Mondeo or Vauxhall Vectra because they ran for years and that's what I remember. Ford has to be the most successful manufacturer, no?

Watch Robb Gravett finally win the title in a relatively un-liveried RS500 was fun to watch

[fingersprice]

1995 Volvo 850 super tourer. Still had the imposing looks but was a lot more competitive than the wagon from the previous year:

Alfa 155 with Tarquini behind the wheel.



Oh & the 155 DTM in DTM.

[spodrod]

I always had a soft spot for these....

I remember that well, the team had very little money and barely made it to the next weekends racing. The intense rivalry between Gravett and Rouse was spectacular.

For me this... Had been following SEAT for a few years but these made me ditch my modified Ibiza for a Leon TDI which got modified heavily.

[Roop]

Andy Rouse's 1988 Kaliber Sierra RS500 of course...!

Jack Sears' Ford Galaxie.



A bit before my time, but I just love the concept of racing something as big and unruly as these.

My wallet, credit card, pension pot and deeds to the house have been locked out of my reach by Mrs SB because it's now for sale!

Hmmm... this is probably my fav:

This all day long for me.

I was 16 at the time, still fancy the R but yellow is the colour and they are a hard sell to the wife.

Sorry for the shameless photo stealing!
