Triumph Herald 13/60 convertible
Vauxhall Chevette
Ford Fiesta 1.4S
Mazda MX-5 (mk1)
VW Vento

So, my car journey started in 1985:
Ford escort mk2 1.3 ghia
TR7
TR7 convertible
MG Montego (bought one of the company cars from work, and it was plastic not fantastic)
Then had a few years where on the side I used to buy from auction, clean up and sell so had dozens I can’t remember but those I can:
Citroen AX GT (lot of fun)
Ford escorts of various type
Ford Orion ghia
Citroen ZX volcane
Citroen ZX (can’t recall the spec)
Mazda 323 GT
Peugeot 405 (rubbish)
Ford sierra
Ford fiesta
Renault 5 GT turbo ( absolutely spotless unmolested low mileage example I wish I’d kept)
Then family came along and it was:
VW sharan
Mercedes E class 320cdi avantgarde estate with 7 seats (kept that 12 years from nearly new and it was faultless)
Peugeot 207 GT for commuting
Citroen DS3 for commuting
BMW 320d m sport touring
BMW Z4 2.5si convertible (still have this)
Jaguar F type P380 AWD convertible (still have this)
Currently looking at options for a sensible ‘other’ car but can’t make my mind up on petrol or full EV
