I liked my 124 Coupe, and I had a 132 which was a nice family car.

Beautiful styling by Pininfarina, some had mechanics by Ferrari. Very desirable. 1967 Fiat Dino Spider 2000 with only 81000 km from new For Sale | Car And Classic

To make a good car, make it small and light.

I inherited a Turbo; a bit of an ugly duckling but a nice car to drive.

I was having some paint done on the SL55 this morning (what's another couple of grand? 
) and this absolutely mint 205 GTI 1.9 was in the car park of the paint shop. It looks so small compared to modern cars.
This was one of my dream cars as a young man. Are teenage dreams so hard to beat?

My first car was a Fiat Uno... 4 speed; showing my age!
Mine had 4 too, I didn’t notice until I got on a motorway and couldn’t get into 5th gear

Dunno. Australian licence plates don't indicate the year...

My dad told the story of being in Malaya / Singapore (before the fall) in ww2. He was asked to drive a jeep a long way for some no doubt pointless reason. He had never driven before
Took him about a day to do the journey. Once he arrived, someone helpfully explained that it actually had more than 3 forward gears

OWG 119 K in harvest gold. Sold it to a scrappy for £20 after a terminal MOT fail.
Alarmed to see DVLA has it as red and last taxed in 87, a few years after I junked it

Mine was a 1964 Victor FB, closely followed by a Viva HA, same year. I still remember the reg 16 NML on the Victor, and I had two HA Vivas, CNU 87B and 149 VHT. Now if only I’d kept those plates…So young!

I sold mine to a neighbour who kept it for a few years before someone rear-ended it when it was parked. I'm pretty sure it was written off and DVLA suggests it was last taxed to 1985 which would be consistent with that. However the last V5 was issued a year later so I'm not sure what that actually suggests.

I exported my current car 6(?) years ago. DVLA still shows it on their site with a warning that it’s currently untaxed and has no MOT. There’s also a note that the last V5 was issued in 2013, which is after I’d bought it and it was here in Spain.

My nephew was fortunate and well paid enough when he worked for Lotus to buy one of these in black, an amazing car to drive. He had to sell it when he got made redundant. Four years later he won one in a competition in the Daily Express.I was having some paint done on the SL55 this morning (what's another couple of grand?

My first car was a 1984 Renault 5 Turbo 2 and I went into A LOT of debt to get it as a newly commissioned 21 year old Flying Officer. Mine was white but I painted it two tone yellow with Halfords rattle cans so it looked like I was competing in the Monte Carlo Rally when I drove past a chip shop.
