Cars I have owned

• Morris 1000 Traveller (1961, Rose Taupe) article
  Bought second hand from Timms of Leigh ford dealer, who had got it in PX from my uncle's brother.
• Ford Escort GT (1969, Blue) article
  Came from a dealer in Bolton, It was their chief mechanic's car. Was nice to drive and cheap to look after. Fitted a heated rear window myself.
• Mini Clubman article
  with mustard- yellow seats- an unbeatable colour combination- yuck!
• Alfasud, turned into a colander with all the rust . Nice to drive. The camshaft drive belts and tensioners were exposed, one side of the flat four seized up. Valves hit pistons on 2 cylinders.Surprisingly I changed the bent valves and the camshaft drive parts and all was well again. Then the heating packed up. I good only get rid of in in PX for another Sud
• Alfasud, didn't bloody learn, first car I bought new. Came from Westune.
• Moskvitch Estate (Beige, I think; sold a family car and the buyer wanted me to take this in PX, sold it a month later for a profit to somebody who liked them! Sailed agriculturally round corners.
• Ford Escort XR3i (1981, Silver, the one with the tea tray on the back. Fast, cheap to run, dead-ish steering, not half the fun of the Alfasods (sic).)
• BMW 318i(1986, Baltic Blue, nice car once I had it fixed properly, didn't need any parts after that
• Haven't had my own car since mid '90s. Use public transport, taxis and hire cars on holiday.
