Ford occupied three of the top four slots on the list of the best-selling cars of the 1980s. The Escort was top dog, with some 1.6 million cars sold across the decade. It was all change for Ford’s popular family car, with the Mk3 Escort debuting in the 1980s as a front-wheel drive hatchback. There was an Escort for everyone, from a lowly base model hatchback or estate, to a performance gem fit for royalty. Princess Diana famously took delivery of a black Escort RS Turbo. Back in the real world, Britain’s working and middle classes got their kicks in the XR3 and XR3i.
