Had several of these in the 'pool' - great driving cars but the rasping exhaust note became wearing after a while :(

Some of you have brought back some memories. The 970s is a rare beast indeed & Cooper 10 inch discs/calipers are as rare as hens teeth. I could list several but two will do.
   1968 Mini Cooper 998 (so not an S) red with a black roof. Not much different to standard 998 to look at but those in the know saw the chrome gear lever, 100mph speedo, deeper dish steel wheels & i think a slightly different grille. I was 18 & my ins co. knew what it was when i tried to insure it as a mini 1000! Reg was OOF 786G!!!!
   The biggie for me was a 1972 Mk3 Cortina 1600GT, 2 door in Daytona yellow with black vinyl roof. The GT's of the day had 1600 pintos which i never liked. This one had a retro fitted 1600Gt x-flow as fitted to the Mk2 1600E, Mk1 Escort Mexico etc. In 1600 form the pinto felt a bit dull, the x-flow always felt punchier & more willing. I think the reg was SPO ***K.
    I know the mini died in a police chase after i got rid & was inside. Doubt the Cortina is around any more. :'( 8-)

Had an immaculate 1992 Ford Grandad in dark metallic green.Almost showroom condition and I think I must have had a bump on the head cos I traded it in for a Mk5 Escort XR3i-which was a turd! But looking back to my early yoof, I was GIVEN a Tickford Ford Capri 2.8i MOT failure. Myself and a mate stripped it for bits......OMG I've done some stupid things :-[ :( :oI'm not saying it would get me on Dragons Den but it would be worth investing in nowadays....and I trashed it in my naivety ::)

It really should be this. Stupidly fast, great looking (I thought) and a real throwback to my pre family days



But to be honest, its this:



A lowly Carlton 1.8GL. I was about 18/19 and I loved it. Washed it every other day. Really cared for it. Sold it to a taxi driver who had it for 2 years and took it up to 330,000 miles.
