I had a beautiful 1966 dark green immaculate Ford Corsair V4 in 1974, my then girlfriend lived some miles away and the petrol cost was mounting up, i exchanged the car for a Mini, it solved the petrol problem but how i missed my V4...

should have exchanged the girlfriend - we divorced in 1981 :(

Choice of two

K582JWJ - Nissan 200 SX - I loved that car and I sold it because I believed the turbo was on its way out (should have just replaced it but didn't have the cash)



J745ONB - My 3rd GSI 3000 - such a great car to drive



Both sadly missed :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Ford 105E, reg no 39 SF sold it for £30 in the early 70's, plate might be worth a bit more than that now.

A couple i wish i still had, Ford Capri 2.8i RS, it had been tinkered with by Ford special products division. It was a demonstrator model before i got it, had been opened out to 3.1 and had a race cam fitted. Now sitting in someone’s collection in Stafford somewhere. The other was a Kawasaki ZZR1000 just gave a sense of freedom are well memories...... :'(
