The Dolomite was a nice enough car, but it had terrible road holding, that was probably due to the terrible tyres that were around back then.
For pure driving fun then it had to be the 1430 Mini, that was a hoot, 125mph, 0 - 60 in wtf, I had that in '87ish when the XR2 & XR3 started to appear, it could see them off without trying very hard at all (although I don't condone street racing, it's not big or clever) but it was horrible if I had to drive any distance, the exhaust exited just behind the drivers door and had very little in the way of a silencer, god it was loud.
I had a lot of fun in the Transit as well as it was a full custom with a decent stereo system (for the time in '84) fully carpeted and lined, it was sound insulated, it even had a tv in the back and a rear facing bench seat that turned into a bed ;) I had a lot of fun in that.
