From what I can remember, since I've known my old chap, he's had a mk5 Cortina, mk3 xr3, mk3 xr3i, now its a Nissan of some sort. But I'm told by my stepmother that in the 70's he had a mk2 Escort, his hobby was rallying so was this was the car he used.
Growing up with my godparents, they had -
1979 Talbot Avenger estate,
1983 Astra 1300s estate
1986 Astra 1300 merit estate,
Then they got a car each, starting with -
1987 Pug 205 diesel and 505 estate,
Numerous 205's upto 2000, 505 was chopped in for a 1992 Proton,

Mum has only had 3 cars in her life and only got rid of her first a Morris Marina 1.8 Coupe in Brooklands Green due to rot, Dad did the same to his Ford Capri in Roman Bronze for the same reason when I was younger, the rest we still have of which four are Fords.

I know of the cars mentioned here which were new from my childhood and others I know due to being into and brought up with classic cars, one of my dads car's is a P6B which seems to be a favorite on this thread.
