Cars I can think of which are not only classics but set new bench marks;
Mini Cooper
Mki/Mkii Escort
Audi quattro
Lotus Carlton
Latest Skyline (judging by the reviews)

Yes, definetly the Holy grail of the Nova. Almost unheard of and a very special machine, even if it is a Nova 
Fiesta RS1800, MkV XR3i or Orion 1.8 Ghia with the rare 130bhp RQB engine, as most 1.8 zetec Fords had the wheezy 105bhp RDAs. Also an unheard of derivative outside of known circles.
I believe the Opel Monza GSE (or Vauxhall Royale) deserves a place here, especially the one with the digital dash and the FF 4wd conversion.
Not to forget the Jensen Interceptor "FF" the holy grail of Interceptors.

Fiat Tipo 16v? LOL if you're into Fiats I'm sure that was a souped up 1.8 or something.
Having driven and modded Clios for a long time, I suppose the first ***** in mint condition or an old Clio Maxi in Monte Carlo slaughtering trim. Renault Sport Spider?
A late Merc 190 Cosworth as mentioned above, I think the Evo 2 version. Evo 3 E30 M3 is an obvious choice too.
Metro 6R4, 205 T16, Sport Quattro etc etc

Yep i'd have said the Tickford Capri too, personally.
What about the Golf Rallye or whatever they were called, anyone ever seen one of those?

Porsche 924 Carrera GT, or, if you can find one, a 924 Carrera GTS.
C-GT
C-GTS
More realistically a 1988 944 Turbo SE, or perhaps, an extremely rare, LHD only, 944 Turbo Cup.
