Cars I’ve Owned

[T6 CFO]

Moved from other thread:-

Sorry thread highjack. Posts above got me thinking of my old motors so I wrote them down while I can still remember.

Austin 1100 (£50 with MOT - knackered sub frame but they all did)
Austin 1100 ( as above)
Ford Popular (as above 3 gears - Blew up near scrapyard)
Mk 1 Cortina ( Loved it - got bigger engine put in etc etc)
Triumph 1300 (first car that cost much and only one that cost me money to keep going)
Mk 2 Cortina ( not as good as the Mk 1)
Opel Mantra (nice motor for it’s time)
Ford Capri (pulled the wife in it so cost me a fortune ) nice motor.
VW Golf (Mk 4. Got taken out by a jack knifing artic on the M6 with me and the two youngest in. Eldest was on a booster youngest in baby seat. We survived the motor didn’t. Result!
Morris 1000 Van. (Great fun, ended up with wide wheels - gave to my brother)
Ford Granada. (Wonderful condition and just after I did the head on it the wife lost it in Bath Park - stolen and never seen again)
Vauxhall Nova. (Good motor which ran for years alongside the
Mk 1 Golf GTI (Ran it for years and a great great motor, crap brakes)
Peugeot 405 Diesel Estate (Family workhorse, had all the bells and whistles which all stopped working eventually but it carried on regardless. Finally died on the way to collect the
VW Touran (First new motor and first Touran in UK with a DSG. Ran it for 10 years, faultless.
Mazda MX 5. (Roughly same time period and alongside the Touran. Great fun)
VW California

I might have missed one or two. Early years was a case of picking up anything with a ticket (mot) that ran and exchange for £20 at the scrapyard. Cheap motoring and a learning curve.

My list.
S-reg Vauxhall Chevette
A-Reg Metro (MG look-a-like)
F-Reg Peugeot 309 - first new car - written of in a mighty smash... The seatbelt saved my life (not my fault by the way...)
Astra Estate - Diesel (a tractor engine I think - no turbo)
Shared K-reg Peugeot 205 with Mrs S
N-Reg Toyota Carina estate - petrol, faultless car, kept for 10-yrs
05 plate Mazda 5 Sport (petrol) - thirsty and ate tyres, nice to drive though.
57 Seat Ibiza 3-door, small diesel - never liked it but cheap to run
05 VW Caravelle - got the bug
66 VW California Beach - the best by far

And I can remember all the registration numbers...

Impressive VW camper selection yourself, I'm a newbie to campervanning with just the one.

LOL, I had it forced upon me as a "good buy" by my parents so son number 2 could inherit my mini. It did come in handy as a precursor to a camper van, spending a few nights wild camping in the lakes with my girlfriend at the time. Seats dropped flat and a handy double bed.
