Ex post office anglia van (ford) , followed by 4 bedford 'ha's' ,lovely motors, beam axle on the front, you could roll them on their side single handed, to change the gearbox!

First car was simular to Deans but was an NSU, twin cylinder 2 stroke engine in the back from the 70s looked abit like a trabant, was far out. then a mk2 ford escort......those were the days when you only got 2 door mirrors on an upper market model!

[Steve Bullman]

my first car was a datsun cherry 1.0l with vinyl roof.....it looked crap and sounded even worse. 2nd car was a honda crx, i loved that car, and if i needed a little sporty run around now id buy another one!

A white 1974 Morris Marina* 1.3 Super Coupe! Followed by

Peugeot 305 1.6 GR estate;

Rover SD1 3500SE Battlecruiser - what a car!;

Vauxhall Senator 24V;

Peugeot 309 Zest 1.9 Diesel

Whilst at uni bought a little piece of history - a Marina* V8 as pictured.

Peugeot 205 GTI 1.6 in rare Sorrento green (with 1.9 alloys later!)

Citreon Xsara 1.9TD ()

VW Golf GT TDI 130 (53 reg) - bomb on wheels and in many ways the best car I ever had;

Mondeo Ghia X TDCi and latterly an Avensis D4D. Plus a 405 estate for the heck of it - no electronics - completely home repairable...

Oh and a Pug 306 DTurbo - bought it faulty and fixed it up - big hassle...
