I think that the list is fairly accurate in were they came in order.
First car a 1953 Ford Anglia - not too much fun but my first car!
Morris Van converted to estate car as was fairly common back in the 60's.
1725 Hillman Minx.
Cortina Mk2 not strictly mine as it was a company vehicle when I tried being a rep. Not a good idea as it happened.
Austin 1800.
Rover 2000. both these when I tried my hand at private hire. Again too early for this idea.
3 x MGB's - the first was a three bearing crank engine so an early model. Loved all of them.
MGB GT.
Ford Capri 3000 - a flyer.
Ford Cortina MK2 GT. Fun until I blow the engine up coming off M5 after long run at high speed.
Riley Kestrel - Not quite an old mans car as had twin carbs and was fairly quick. Beautiful interior - leather and wood.
Minx Estate - the MGB at the time had to go as son had arrived! Terrible car in all ways.
Grenada MK1 - Grenada MK2 and a Grenada MK3 Ghia.
Sierra S - Full Cosworth body kit and de badged. Just like the real thing and was quick but not quite up to the Cosworth!
Nissan Sunny - My biggest error - it did not last very long.
Ford XR2i - Really a fun car.
Escort MK3 Ghia.
Nissan Primera GT - Wonderful car.
Citroen Picasso - Another big error - brand new and it spent a lot of time in local agents having new front seat - radiator and something to do with drive joints. It did not last too long.
Nissan Primera 2004 - Another good car. When I came to change for another one they had discontinued it.
Nissan Xtrail.
Skoda Superb - it really was Superb. Many long runs to France and Spain. A great pleasure to drive.
Skoda Yeti 4x4 - Excellent.
Skoda Yeti Laurin and Klement. Talked into changing buy dealer with an offer I could not refuse for the first of our Karoq's
Skoda Karoq SEL Dsg. Excellent.
Skoda Karoq Sportline Dsg- the current vehicle and I love it. All the Skodas have been excellent without any trouble.
So having bored you with this I will finish to say I did consider an electric car but so glad I did fall into the trap of battery anxiety and expense. Long live petrol/diesel.
