Just been discussing cars with my dad that he has owned:

Toyota celica 1.8 (m reg)
Nissan Primera 2.0 sport extra (x reg)
rover 2300 (e reg)
fiat croma 2.0 (d reg)

He thinks the Toyota is fastest and quickest acceleration. I think the primera, but cant find the specs online.
Anyone???

You could check carfolio, but you'd need the exact year and spec of all the cars. I won't do that for you.

It doesn't really matter, they are all slow!

...but all significantly more reliable than a TVR non?

Assuming the celiac was the ST model: 
http://www.helpfindmea.co.uk/cars/specs/toyota-cel...

114bhp, 0-62 10secs


There's a few primeras that fit the description but assuming the engine is the same here is the saloon specs:

http://www.helpfindmea.co.uk/cars/specs/nissan-pri...

140bhp, 0-62 9.6secs


Can't find specs on the other 2 but based on ur augment it looks like you were right, at least in terms of 0-62 speed.
