Cool What's your favourite car from the 80s?

I'm trying to figure out which of these two I prefer, given I only had one 5 GT Turbo (in pearl white - oh yes) and six Mk2 GTIs.





What's your favourite 80s car?

Ok so technically a 70's design, but sold through the eighties

Possibly still my favourite car of all time:

Torino and I share a common AM passion but my favourite car of all time was made in the 1990s - the Vantage.

However, from the 80s it has to be the F40 all the way, with the 80s Vantage Torino posted second.

Well this may surprise some of you who probably think I've always hated Audis, but for me the one car I remember anticipating the most and wanting the most was this:




Slightly more down to earth, my mate's Dad had one of these in white... absolutely cracking car:




And finally, a proper northern gangster's smoker:
