Now, the Brooklands 280 is definitely cool. Whereas the Tickford Capri was cool for about 2 months in 1986.

Way too Halfords bodykit. It's the Brooklands that does it for me. I tried to convince my Dad to sell a 1994 Citroen ZX I was using in 1997 that was worth exactly the same as a Brooklands at the time. A few years later the Citroen was traded in for £500 and meanwhile the same Brooklands has trebled in value...

As if you wouldn't have wrapped that Brooklands round a tree/lampost/armco within that time............. :roflmao:

Them and the likes of Zender too.

My dad had a MK2 Golf GTi with the full Zender kit on it, it was the height of coolness at the time, and gained me maximum respect when being dropped off/picked up from school!

It looked like this one, in bright red, but had different wheels, and colour coded bumpers.-

It was replaced with a Moonstone blue 2wd Sapphire Cosworth, which was about as cool as it got at the time, what with the reputation for being nicked and all.

Ahh the Escort Cosworth, I remember the first time I had a ride in one of those, an early big turbo example, on Madeira drive in Brighton at a 'cruise' being driven by a fit blonde who turned out to be slightly unhinged, I'm not sure what was more scary, her driving, or the sex!
