My old man had a Marina Coupe , a Vauhall Chevette and a Beige Morris Ital whilst my Uncle had a Mk 2 Jag 3.8, an Aston Martin DB4 Vantage and then a TVR,quite a contrast eh LOL

saff_cossie

VW Beetle
Brand new mustard colour Morris Marina (rusted through in about 3 years!)
Red VW Jetta (great car and my first one I have memories of on a W plate)
White Sierra Sapphire (clocked so a little run in with the courts on that one)
Sierra hatch in blue
Sierra 1.8 pinto in Rosso Red (in the family for 15 years) and the best car by far

He had a couple of others before the beetle but I dont recall the names. Will ask at the weekend on the phone.

**Edited after seeing Fudgeass' response below. Dad had an Anglia as my mate back in 1994 bought a tiger striped white cossie engined one and dad was very interested in them all of a sudden again. I had no idea what it was back then being 13/14 but all I remember was it being extremely fast, a brown interior and he couldnt afford to insure it!

My old man had the 2.2 Wolsey Princess - best car BL produced, and they produced ALOT of shit!
