Some of the above were/are owned at the same time. Various bangers passed quickly through my hands when we first got our house, helped pay for furniture!
Having worked in the motor trade since 87 I won't list all the demo cars I've had Too many to list as they get swapped every 3 months or so- got my first in 1990 was a white Orion. Favourites were the Ford Pumas I had when I worked at Ford. Have a nice sensible German car from my work to use now!

To be fair I think the mk3 is a really good car, if my last one hadn't contracted terminal rot in the sills i'd have kept it a bit longer.

Nissan cherry body with alfasud mechanicals...those crazy Italians...
Yep love the old mk3, sills always get crushed mercilessly and I often had engine grief with the 8v ones, the VR6 were great. forgot I had another VR I missed off the list, indian red, fantastic colour i often think would look good on a 100hp..
This one also had a single box exhaust, obnoxious isn't the word.. :slayer:

Lotus Excel 1984 ..nice..
Porsche 911SC sport ...addictive
Fiat Multipla 105jtd great design
Fiat Multipla 115jtd faster great design..
2165cc 160 bhp VW GP beach buggy 0-60 6" self built, still own.
