Escort RS Turbo - back in early 90s. Chipped to a heady 160hp and lowering springs.
I considered buying another one about 4-5yrs ago and then decided to leave those memories intact.

1985 Toyota MR2 Mk1 facelift. It was the very first car that I bought in my own name. When I did buy it, it was over ten years old and had 120,000 miles on the clock. I modded it, broke it a couple of times, lost control of it and bent the chassis by hitting a high kerb sideways. Got it fixed and kept it for another few years. It was awesome. It wasn't the T Bar but you could lift the sunroof out and put it in a holder under the bonnet. Pop-up headlights as well.
I loved it with every fibre of my being and I've often thought about buying another one as a project car but too much time as passed and I fear the memory is much better than the reality.
Aside from all that if we're talking purely about the best product, I have to say it was one of the very first Audi R8s that I had a go off on a track day. I'm determined that I will buy one of these at some point.

Renault Clio with semi sequential gearbox which was bit of a challenge as changing down was easy but clutch to change up. Great chassis and easy to pivot round corners, preferred it to the 911 with a clunky auto. However the Clio was pipped by the Caterham which was just great fun. Had a thing for 16v Golf GTis, really needed to rev it to get the best out of it, cocked a rear wheel into a sharp corner but much nicer with a meatier anti roll bar and better dampers.
I had an ex-race 1990 Caterham 7 Supersprint 1.7 and had loads of great memories, especially trips to Le Mans 24, Germany and Ireland.
This happened! Broke down in a town in Ireland, called the RAC who sent a local service. I can’t remember the chap’s name exactly but it was totally Irish, like Mick O’Connor. Anyway, on the side of his van it said “Mick O’Connor Breakdown Service. On call 23.5 hours a day”.
