Albert - Interesting comparison.

I never linked those 2 cars as market competitors - probably because the 2 door Rekord (Carlton in the UK) was never sold in Ireland. Looking at the pics they do look like they have a similar profile.

I've never thought that there were many other cars that matched the Sport profile that closely ie A 2 litre 2 door top of the range sporty version of a 4 door family saloon.

The obvious one is a Ford Escort RS2000 and I would also include the Mazda 626 2.0 Coupe but I cant think of many others. I guess you could include a 2 door Ford Cortina 2.0S (rare car). Any others ...? ???
