Got me thinking, must get a list together, not including company cars.

1968 Clubman 1275, think you might be mistaken with this, the Clubman did not come out till 1970 iirc.   :-/

[webby23]

Vamps

It doesnt say Clubman matey !!!

It says Mini 1275, which it was, a Mini (round front) with a 1275 engine retrofitted.....

Are you thinking of the 1275GT, which has a Clubman front?

 

[Vamps]

What age group are you and when did you start driving, just to put things in context.....

Mine is no where near as long. But been driving for 4 years  (am 21) so still had a fair few. No accidents, I just get bored easily 

1. 1988 Nissan Micra 1.0 GSX (cost £137 and insurance £1300  :-/)

2. 1994 Renault 19 1.4 Biarritz (sold to a friend where it became a 0.7 after dropping two cylinders)

3. 1997 Renault Laguna 2.2D RT (slow but dependable)

4. 1997 Vauxhall Vectra 1.6 16v LS (my first Vectra but was pretty gutless)

5. 1999 Vauxhall Vectra 2.5 V6 SRi (my first taste of a 6 and I was hooked)

6. 1999 Peugeot 406 2.0 GLX Estate (had it for 2 weeks)

7. 2000 Citroen Xantia 2.0 HDi SX (the car I owned the longest, was doing regular long haul trips and needed economy, returned 60mpg)

8. Vauxhall Omega 2.5 V6 CDX Auto (bought because it was there and cheap)

9. Vauxhall Omega 3.0 V6 Elite Manual (after buying the 2.5 decided I wanted a 3.0 Manual, so I bought one  )

What age group are you and when did you start driving, just to put things in context.....

I am now 37 years old and my first car was in the summer of 89......!!
