The Sinclair QL was a 68k machine, not an 8-bit (and famously what Linus Torvalds had before he got a 386 based PC).
Edit: 8-bit data bus though, which I didn't know until reading up on the Motorola 68008 just now! Trust Uncle Clive to cheap-out as usual...
I cut my teeth on a ZX81 and even had a Spectrum +3 later on - that was the last gasp of the 8-bit Z80 Sinclair line, although the IP was owned by Amstrad by then.
The BBC Micro was 8 bit and a 6502 chip, that era had at least the following:
BBC Atom, Micro, Electron, Master
Commodore Pet, Vic32, Commodore 64
Atari 400/800 XL
Tandy TRS80
Oric Atmos
Sinclair ZX80, 81, Spectrum, QL
Amstrad CPC 464
Dragon 32/64
MSX machines
