Yes, that’s some good 90's futurism.

Burn the LaForza.

The pictured Sterling is a sedan, so... DD the Scorpio.

Also, tracking the Sterling means that you get to rip out all of the Lucas electrics , and what you’re left with is a Honda with Honda reliability.

Yeah - they did a far better job with the hatch. The saloon just looks so... Generic in comparison.

DD the Sterling because at least the Honda mechanicals will keep going when everything else falls apart and/or off.

Track the LaForza. Could be an off-road track, right?

Burn the Merkur. :-(

Funny, I was going to reply that if you come to WA you can probably find one - and that one has WA plates.

The first two cars were actually quite a normal sight on our side of the pond in the 80s. Sold as the Ford Granada/Scorpio and the Rover 800 respectively.

The LaForza wasn’t anywhere though.

I’d daily the Rover because it’s comfortable, track the Ford because RWD and burn the LaForza because it was a bit unpowered.

Thing you haven’t heard of is the Rover version of the 1st gen Acura Legend.

Yeah, I still see the occasional Scorpio or 800 running about, but definitely not as common as they once were - never seen a Laforza anywhere but pictures though
