Agreed, better visibility, better looking. More iconic.

I’ve had XR2, XR2i, Escort RS Turbo (hated it, preferred my XR2i) 205 GTi x2, early non sunroof model and the later cat model.
Most fun and favourite out the lot…. My XR2i.

Ok , ok . You may have to google this for the body shape but, I built/had  a Renault  750 body with a Dauphine Gordini engine and gear box in . The usual wide wheels and yellow paint with a purple stripe running over the body . Work shop made small steering wheel and other stuff I made in the tool room . . Bit like an oversized go cart . really fun car/hot rod . Alas I wrote it off with an end to end roll . I was 16 at the time .

My 1st was a MK2 Cortina 1600E, with Mexico decals on the side. 2nd was a 65 Beetle changed from 6v to 12v and fitted twin carb/twin port 1600 engine driving Pirelli P6 Zero on banded rims! 3rd was a MK2 RS2000 which had been a tarmac rally car but had standard engine by then. TEC300M got sold for £850 in 1985 with a dented front wing, done on the day the lad came to view it! 4th was a Lancia HPE, twin cam 2ltr and was lively but rusty!

I find that hard to believe, the internal combustion engine hadn't been invented then...
