Just thinking back to my childhood and can't remember any European cars in our street.
My dad has his Capri and mom had her A35 (although this changed to an Imp after the A35 got totalled).
My next door neighbour had a brand new Ford Cortina ANT447L in red. It was superb!
the next door to them had a Mk1 escort and later changed to a light blue Mk2 Escort , and next door to them, he had an old E Reg MK1 Cortina which he cleaned religiously, every Sunday! I used to think he was a real nobber for cleaning his car so often!! I was only 6 or 7 at the time though!!
Can't remember much else apart from friends the other way had a Hillam Hunter and their next door neighbours had a Vauxhall Viva as that Viva ended being my eldest brothers first car back in 1980 when he passed his driving test!
