I can remember when I was only 4 or 5 an old Ford Consul Capri the old man had (not the sort of Capri you are probably thinking of) it was a lime green colour, reg: 776 EOE. After that he had an Austin Cambridge (Farina shape) reg: 594 KWP. Next he had a Vauxhall Victor estate, a 3.3 straight six, reg: RTV 383G. Then came a Ford Cortina mk2 1600 super which I had the "L" plates on, reg: VUY 508G.
