Certainly, the &#8217;80s seem like I dreamt the decade. Especially the early part of that era. Well, I was a child, so it\u2019s no surprise that it is now a misty blur of nostalgic rosiness.<\/p>\n<p>Most of my memories are punctuated by music and cars. Or both at the same time. You won\u2019t be surprised to hear the car bit, I know. But some motors are more memorable than others. The Cortina and the Sierra are two such unforgettable examples.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Ford_Cortina_Mk_V_2.3_Ghia_2294cc_August_1982.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Ford_Cortina_Mk_V_2.3_Ghia_2294cc_August_1982.jpg\" alt=\"Cortina v Sierra\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>My parents had both models. My dad had a 1.6 L Cortina on a \u2018Y\u2019 plate and my stepmum had a Sierra 1.8 LX on an \u2018F\u2019 reg. Yes, that\u2019ll be 1982 and 1988 respectively if you\u2019re an anorak who knows the UK\u2019s registration letter years.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, 1982 is the year that I want to concentrate on here. It was almost obligatory to own one of these models back when Survivor belted out \u2018Eye of the Tiger\u2019. And \u201882 was the year some stiff upper lipped Brits got their panties all bunched up when the Cortina bowed out and let the Sierra take the limelight.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Ford_Sierra_1982.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Ford_Sierra_1982.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>That\u2019s because the Cortina had been around for 20 years and had almost seen as many regenerations as Dr Who. Well, it saw five incarnations between 1962 and 1982.<\/p>\n<p>The Ford Cortina was my dad&#8217;s preference \u2013 and because it was marketed as the car for all, it was the UK\u2019s best-seller during the 70s. I hate to say it, but I just about remember that decade too. Even though I was only knee high to a grasshopper, I recall seeing a Cortina parked outside every other home back then.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/1982_Ford_Cortina_1.6_L_8689812377.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/1982_Ford_Cortina_1.6_L_8689812377.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Alas, the boxy shaped, but still handsome, Cortina was beginning to wear a bit thin by 1982. The 80s demanded a new shape, and a fresh design was what the decade got. The name had to change too, though \u2013 but the replacement was almost too radical for Ford\u2019s own good.<\/p>\n<p>So, the straightforward Cortina was axed, and the all-new Ford Sierra was ushered in. The difference between the two cars was night and day. Or chalk and cheese, if you will. From September 1982 the Blue Oval went from square to curvy &#8211; just like that.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Ford_Sierra_1983.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Ford_Sierra_1983.jpg\" alt=\"Sierra 1983\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Of course, behind the scenes, Ford had been planning to replace the Cortina for at least half a decade before. Yes, the Sierra was already planned, but its alias was \u2018Toni\u2019. Bizarre, I know. But the upshot was that Ford wanted to make a trailblazer of a car \u2013 and it was going to do it by focusing on aerodynamics.<\/p>\n<p>The upshot was incredible. The breeze-block shaped Cortina\u2019s drag coefficient was 0.45, but the slippery Sierra\u2019s was whittled down to 0.34 following years of sculpting and wind tunnel testing.<\/p>\n<p>However, under the metal, things were still recognisable. The transmissions and the powerplants were from the Cortina\u2019s parts-bin. This wasn\u2019t a bad thing though, it was just Ford trying to keep its customers loyal and happy. Astonishing punters with a spaceship-like machine was one thing; pushing them away towards the likes of Vauxhall and its admired Cavalier was another.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/1983_Ford_Sierra_1.6_L_Interior_18366285540.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/1983_Ford_Sierra_1.6_L_Interior_18366285540.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>As with the Cortina, the Sierra had everything going for it to blossom. The line-up was immense \u2013 from the entry-level, steel-wheeled, black-nosed 1.3-litre to the beast-like 2.3-litre Ghia complete with six cylinders and wood trim. Surely, the cool new Sierra offered something for everyone?<\/p>\n<p>Well, it did, but consumers weren&#8217;t swayed at first. The curvaceous Sierra was soon nicknamed the \u2018jelly mould\u2019, and it became apparent that the Blue Oval would have a battle compelling a nation of fathers that the Sierra was a \u2018must-have\u2019 buy.<\/p>\n<p>Muscular Sierras were eventually steered in to inject some extra passion. The V6-driven XR4i kicked off the strategy, trailed by the talented XR4x4, and then the spectacular Sierra Cosworth.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, it wasn&#8217;t until the Sierra Sapphire saloon came to the party in 1987 that the model really started scaring the Vauxhall Cavalier. Finally, the Sierra had become the set-of-wheel that dads craved \u2013 and sales went through the roof.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Sierra-Saphire.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Sierra-Saphire.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Ford&#8217;s great venture had worked, even though it had taken five years. And, so eventually, the Sierra became one of the most important cars of its period, and it has undoubtedly shaped the way today\u2019s cars look.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Whether that\u2019s a good thing or not, I\u2019ll leave you to decide.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They say the past is a foreign country.
