Alan gsd Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 1st a Armstrong Siddeley 1947 £15 !! passed everything on the road expect petrol stations!! Wolseley 6/80 1953 (around) with starting handle £45 ! Fords - over the years Consul (2), Escort (2), Contina (of course I always wanted a 1600E), Escort Van. and Transits mk 5, 6 and 7. Hillman Minx, Hunter, Avenger. Vauxhalls - Victor 101, Astra Max van - Volvo 240GL, Volvo 740, the vans were all used for carrying my dogs. I was way ahead of my time driving Electric ....... albit my milk float!! I do still have a tax disc from about 15 years ago displayed on my 2005 CRV which I've had for a year and for a car 18 years old is something special the condition, finish and equipment would still put many younger cars to same ... and have no intention of going electric again 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Quite a selection there Alan....mostly chunky cars in their day and great for carrying stuff around (e.g. no sports cars in that list) 🙂 The irony is that we did have electric cars, buses, invalid cars and even lorries many years ago and we are now reinventing the wheel....very badly!

Trevor Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 My list is as follows (in no particular order): Triumph Herald (first car), many Rover and MG over the years, lots of American and custom cars, plenty of classic cars, motorbikes and just about anything with wheels. Just wished I had the foresight to keep them all 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan gsd Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 You certainly had a few Trevor, in foresight as you say if you had kept them all you would be as well off as Derek in Bangers and Cash seems!! 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
