Here's mine (bound to forget a few)
1962 Mini Traveller 850 (with wood sides)
1965 1275 Cooper S (Rally car)
1968 Morris 1300 (check the petrol and fill the oil!)
1968 Mini 1000 Van
1981 Datsun Cherry
1982 Nissan Sunny ZX
1983 Daihatsu Charade Turbo
1983 Mitsubishi Mirage Turbo (Colt in the UK - quirky 4 x 2 transmission)
1973 Valiant Pacer (I wish I still had this - bonnet like an aircraft carrier and surprisingly quick!)
1974 Capri 3000GT (Roundabouts have never been so much fun....)
1985 Holden Barina GS (Suzuki Swift in the UK)
1988 Vauxhall Astra 1.3 Merit
1990 Citroen BX 14RE (Much under rated cars - would love another but in GT 1.9 16v form)
1990 Vauxhall Cavalier 1.4 (duller than a dull thing)
1990 Mazda 323F GT (incredibly reliable car and a lot of fun)
1995 Saab 900 Turbo SE (blistering quick in straight lines - corners...???)
1998 Mercedes C240 (everything I expected it to be)
2001 Audi S3 (Awesome ground coverer - stolen)
1998 Mazda Xedos 2.0 (smoothest engine ever!)
2002 Fiat Punto Sporting (Far far far better than expected - FUN!)
1999 Volvo S70 T5 (awesome beast)
1995 Audi A8 4.2 Quattro Sport (comfortable fast and with a superb V8)
1999 Mercedes C240 (as good as the first one - actually better as it was a better spec)
1992 Range Rover Classic 3.9 EFi (bought unseen for £600 and used as an off road hack and sold 2 years later for £600)
1992 Defender 110
1977 Land Rover FC101 Ambulance (ex Gulf War 1 and totally original).
1976 Land Rover FC101 GS (all four Land Rovers were concurrent)
2004 Volvo S40 2.0d (hateful Ford based sh*te)
2002 Toyota LandCruiser Colorado 3.4GS (I thought Toyotas were supposed to be reliable?)
2004 Smart Roadster Coupe (pure fun and more practical than expected)
1993 Mercedes 500SL ('nuff said )
2002 Mercedes C180
2001 Mercedes E240 Estate (Bus to haul stuff round and down down to France)
I knew I'd forget one - 2005 Saab 9-3 2.0t (most hateful POS ever... when it went it was phenomenal but it had an appetite for cooling components and headgaskets that was second to none...)
