Remember when Dad came home in a Granada and the neighbours actually came out to have a look? In 1982, this was a car that made a family feel they'd moved up in the world. That gold paint, the long bonnet and all that space inside made even an ordinary trip to see the grandparents feel like a proper occasion.

Remember when an Italian car could turn an ordinary trip to the shops into something you looked forward to? The engine note, the feel through the steering wheel and that little bit of drama every time you opened the throttle. It didn't have to be the fastest car around to make the journey memorable.
1992 Alfa Romeo 75

There was a time when a Jaguar on the driveway said something about the life a man had worked towards. Not necessarily wealth or showing off, but years of early mornings, putting money aside and finally buying something that made him smile every time he came home from work. That deep green paint would have made the wait worthwhile.
1968 Jaguar 420

Imagine one of these arriving at a seaside car park, golden paint catching the afternoon sun while families unloaded picnic baskets from their sensible saloons. It looked like the driver had made a much more exciting choice than everyone else, even before the engine started.
1970 Ford Capri

The P5B was Rover's answer to the executive car, but the 3.5-litre V8 gave it an extra dose of character. With its distinctive roofline, formal proportions and unmistakably British presence, it became one of Rover's most memorable luxury saloons.

In 1979, a yellow Es**rt parked outside the local comprehensive could cause a bigger stir than the headmaster's new car. Everyone knew someone who was learning to drive, saving for one, or already claiming their mate's Es**rt was the fastest thing on four wheels.
1979 Ford Es**rt

Your first summer job in 1977, greasy wages in your pocket, and a green Spitfire advertised in the local paper. You rang the seller from a phone box, rehearsed what you'd say, then spent the next week wondering whether someone else would buy it first.
1977 Triumph Spitfire

Remember when a car could have a proper rear hatch without looking like every other hatchback on the road? The Scimitar's long roof and sweeping rear glass gave it a silhouette you could recognise in seconds, even through the rain on a British high street.

Princess Anne famously owned a Reliant Scimitar GTE, helping turn this unusual British shooting brake into an icon. In 1980, it was still a refreshingly different choice for anyone who wanted sports-car character without giving up the usefulness of a hatchback.
1980 Reliant Scimitar GTE

A long-wheelbase British luxury saloon in yellow is never going to disappear into the background. The Sovereign combined substantial road presence with traditional Daimler refinement, while the 4.2-litre engine gave this heavyweight plenty of effortless character.

1977 Daimler Sovereign 4.2 LWB Auto
