Product Information:
WRC and Production cars may have the times tumbling and the records rocking, but it's still the seriously sideways merchants who keep the punters on the hedgerows long after the big boys have passed.
RPM have picked through their archives to bring you their top ten modified marques and much previously unseen sideways footage. Enjoy the thrills and the memories of many of the great entertainment aces.
BMW 2002s, Darrians, TR7 V8s, Lancia Stratos & 037s and Toyota Starlets were all sideways machines, but which cars are your all time favourites?
The Opel Ascona & Manta 400? How can you forget James Cullen, Henri Toivonen and the much missed Bertie Fisher in these cars?
The BMW M3? Bertie Fisher and Austin MacHale made the Bavarian machines scream.
The Sunbeam Lotus? Henri Toivonen and Russell Brookes knew how to set a Sunbeam sideways!
The Vauxhall HS & HSR Chevette? Pentti Airikkala, Tony Pond, Terry Kaby and Jimmy McRae were the masters of the DTV machines.
The Sierra Cosworth? These 'whale tail' turbo cars livened up the Group A years when Mark Lovell, Jimmy McRae and the electric Colin McRae were behind the wheel.
The Escort MKI & II? Billy Coleman, Bjorn Waldegard, Frank Meagher, Connie Smith, Ari Vatanen, all of the magic Escort names are here recalling their glory days.
Perhaps it's the Opel Kadett or the Nissan 240RS?
The Escort G3, Meeke Orion or Peugeot 205 hybrid? Specials maybe, but in Euegene Donnelly, Niall McShea and Ken Colbert's hands, they became very special!
The Porsche 911? The rear engined supercar which was out in front for two decades. First with Cahal Curley and Dessie McCartney and later with Billy Coleman and Henri Toivonen.
So if you like it a bit sideways, this is the one for you! See if you agree with RPM's top ten!
