This isn't my own choice of the top eighties cars, but there are some decent ones featured on this video, which features many old and classic American cars, and also British and European models, too.

Unfortunately, there is no soundtrack as it has been removed by Youtube due to copyright reasons, but I hope you enjoy the slideshow anyway. The video includes many sporty cars, including the Dodge Shelby Charger and the DeLorean which featured in Back To The Future! Being from the UK, it was interesting to see the Ford Escort GT and how different it looks to the British Ford Escort. There are also some great vans and pick-up trucks, too.

If I were to make a video compilation of my favourite 80s cars then it would have to include a Fiesta XR2, mainly because my Dad bought a white one and I loved the acceleration! One of the most reliable cars my parents bought was a Mitsubishi Colt Mirage. It was only a small car, but as with many Japanese cars, seemed way ahead of its time in the electronics department with an electric aerial and mirrors. I remember my Dad wanting to buy a replacement due to its reliability, but not being able to find a Mitsubishi garage as the local one had closed down.

Not an obvious choice as one of the eighties finest cars, but I loved it! The model in that photo isn't the best example around, but it's public domain and will have to suffice.

A 1988 Ford Mustang 

Another favourite, although I've never driven one.
