It's middle aged geezers who used to have one when they were younger.... Going back to their youth.

Now is the time to stuff Citroen Saxos into the barn for when their drivers hit midle age..

I had one of the very last MkII RS2000 which was lost in my divorce. The ex kept it and blew it up a year later and gave it away for scrap

The old Escort Harriers are fetching good dollar too.

Only escort i ever seen was one full of poor ladies who couldn't afford clothes.

Bet no-one ever owned an EH Holden. I had one for about 5 years.

I feel like I've just lost a winning lottery ticket

Cortina 1600e, Capri 2.8i, Dolamite Sprint.Happy slappy days

Tell me about it - Mk. 1 two door Cortina GT with one previous owner ( guy I worked with ) A 1958 4 wheel Isetta - cost £15 . And the biggest pi**er is ; I know 2 people with barns that " might " have let me store a car for decades - but @ the time they said No - now their barns are both full of worthless c-rap . But I had the fun in the motors @ the time , it`s their loss in a share of say £3k for each of the motors @ today`s sale prices Now the Government in it`s wisdom would let you out on the road in that Isetta with free Road Tax ( used to be the same as any 4 wheel car ) and no MOT needed

I had a Hillman Avenger. Is it still worth f*ck all.?????

theres a guy near where i work,has a hillman imp.
dunno if it was a 4 seater coz it aint now as the engine is bloody huge,horrible brown rusty colour,but im thinking its goner be BLOODY fast when hes finished.

I heard of a Rover V8 in an imp - it`s probably the same guy as you know - he`s got a habit of doing mad imps I was into them for a while

Best car I ever had by far;

SDV458X I bought it for £3,000 2nd hand in 82, They now fetch anything over £20k. If I should win the lottery this would be on my to buy list..

A mate of mine bought this a few months ago, its not a minter but its solid, he builds cars for himself and customers so it won't be long before this is fully restored

I have a 2003 Skoda Fabia diesel I could let go for £20,000.

Seriously, it's the best car I have had in the last 40 years.

I had a Fiat 128 (with the honeycomb grill). Only 1100cc but quite quick for it's time.

I also owned a '73 Dolomite 1850HL. A real pig of a car but would love to restore one today.

Just been to a customers house, he has a lovely "E" Type that he is off to tour Europe in next week, a series 1 Land Rover and a stunning Mk1 Crayford Cortina convertible

I swapped a paintball gun for a 1949 landrover in the early 90's. The gun cost me about £150.
Chassis no. something like R101 00000350
Hand beaten wings short wheelbase, split rims.
Sold it to a landie enthusiast for £400 after about 2yrs of owning it. Would love that one back.
