I have to say I think the Calibra still looks pretty sleek even after 21 years! It was kind of like the Audi TT of its day. Based on an ordinary family car, not that thrilling to drive, but ultra modern styling. Not so tempted by the Lada Samara though. Or even the Discovery!
Always watched the Motorfair Show every year as a wee boy and wanted so much to go to London to see it. Sadly I never did. Maybe one day it'll be back.
But that Sierra Minko was awesome shame it never survived as dannyisso said. Would have been pne hell of a fast retro rocket.....
Lmo at that sierra at the start! cool indeed but it aint on the vdla site any more which could means its been scrapped hahah someone probably lost control of it!
this is what Top Gear should still be like and B what the motorshow should still be like now bring it back to Earls Court and NEC and make it old skl like this used to be

in 30 years, we will think the bugatti veyron is the worst car in history just like these rovers, even though they were good back in the day

The Rover 400, a heavy car? Ask NCAP, they would give it 2 stars, and the steering wheel? Cavalier had an airbag in 1989.

Totally agree...

K series engines with the injection are usually pretty unreliable. The Head gaskets go.
Think the 8valve (which is very rare) is ok though on that front. 214S
Only trouble is you get less power, 13'' wheels, a manual choke and no PAS
Sacrifices.. OUCH!
