A white Citroen 2CV 6 Club from 1986 - I bought it in 1990. The photo is not my car but it was exactly the same.

I had a mk2 Escort RS2000 as a first car too, it was black, 50,000 miles, no rust! Great car. Be worth a fortune now.

Just kidding. I had a 1979 "T" reg 2 door Allegro 1300 in satsuma orange. Not a bad car really! Scrapped due to rust.

The scary thing is its not the worst car ive had... not by a long shot!

Mine was a 1955 Daimler Conquest Century, 2 i/2 ltr straight 6 with a Wilson epicyclic gearbox and a fluid flywheel. Called a century 'cos it would do a ton. I also remember it had full harness seat belts, this at a time when they wern't fitted as standard.
