Sierra Cossie. Cool cool cool. The first production car to get over 100 bhp per litre I think. Totally affordable, serviceable and sadly nickable.
Wasn't the engine the old cast iron Pinto unit as used in so many Fords over its long life.
I'm afraid I find the Scorpio, as in the 5 door thing, a total embarrassment on Fords in general. How can you say they drove OK. My experience was of a car that might make the first corner, just, but had no chance with the next. Plastic, shi*ty and so deeply ugly.

Sierra Cossies. Yay

and the more original the better
