I believe the Triumph Dolomite was available at different times in FWD and RWD
Mk3 Escort was FWD but I have seen a few RWD conversions for rallying etc.
Edit: I think the RWD version of the Triumph may have been called the Toledo but the shell was the same to look at.

Vauxhall Cavalier, the Mk1 was rwd and the mk2 fwd. Although I seem to remember the Haynes manual mentions very early Mk2's were RWD

Not a car as such, but the Transit was available in either FWD or RWD versions; don't know if that's still the case?

Ford escort was also available as 4 X 4. Any other cars have all three?
Renault Clio Mk3 onwards can be front or rear.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

1300 was FWD with IRS
1500 was FWD with a beam rear axle. and shared it's complete body shell with the rwd 1750 Dolmite.
1500TC was the RWD later rebadged Dolomite 1500
Toledo came along later and became the Dolomite 1300
Of course there was also the Triumph Pony 4x4 military Jeep based on the same components so a 4x4 version could have been produced.

power unit could be used independantly.

As above - Mk5 Escort was FWD or 4x4, as was Cavalier, also Sierra, BMW 3/5 series, some Mercs, pov-spec Impreza for RWD and 4x4...a lot more than you
might think (especially when you get into the VAG stable).
Only FWD and RWD ones I know of are the Triumph 1300/1500/Toledo/1500TC etc and the Rover 75/MG ZT that were sold in the UK.
Do a google for a Peugeot 1600RD....but its not all it seems....

The Gordinis were all FWD, its the 5 Turbo and Turbo 2 which were mid engine RWD I had a Gordini turbo back in the day, nippy but no match for the
rest of the hot hatch brigade. Gordinis
