I loved Y10.
I ran a Touring (with option pack) as my first ever company car (a demonstrator). It was fabulous. C246 SCF
Then I had a Turbo (D901XAN) which, like all Turbos, was a pig to start (until you found the knack) and gave me about 22 mpg (not great for a 1 litre car) but I used to cane the thing, and play catch me if you can on the motorway with the SD1 Rovers at the time... ahh the mid 80's were a great time.
I lost my licence for a month in 1990 in a Y10 GTie
Got done for 104mph on the M40 on the uphill from High Wycombe to Beaconsfield. The policeman who stopped me said that they weren't expecting a little car to be going that fast. Maybe my reply of "oh, you should try the Turbo, they're far quicker" didn't help my case!

Oooops.
