The Austin 1100 was my first car. I'd like to say I had fond memories of it  ;D

Driving back from clearing Mums house out and passed a guy on an Ariel Leader. That was a blast from the past.

A mate of mine had the GT version of the 1100 think it had a 1300 engine & was mustard yellow black flash & black vinyl roof looked quite okay in 1973.

Spotted in Luton on the way home from my sister's: a Delorean. That's the first time I've seen one on the road.

I was driving through town the other day and saw a silver Omega a couple of cars in front, and got excited.  Then noticed it was mine ;D
