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!

ok not turboed, but still a sweet car.
flocked dash, buckets, mini/superlites, monte springs on spax shocks, and a decent engine which i think was on twin 40 webbors.

Whats wrong with the Wolsey Princess?? it only became crap when Austin decided to have a brain wave and call it the Austin Ambassador. Ambassador of what?? shit cars???
![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
My old man had the 2.2 Wolsey Princess - best car BL produced, and they produced ALOT of shit!
He had a Hillman Avenger though - bought brand new - oh the shame - so glad i wasnt born when he owned it!
Had a Hillman Hunter, that had been prepped for rallying.
Owned a Fiat 131 Twin cam, Granada mk2 2.0 and 2.9 mk3, sierra gls 4x4 2.9. 1.8 sapph, omega 2.5 td (still got), beetles, moggy's also make up the list.
he tends to keep his cars for along time.
