1972 Renault 16TL
1963 Austin A40
1975 Renault 17 Gordini, well ahead of it's time and very quick for it's day
1978 Citroen DS, fan belt snapped and the front of the car had to be removed to replace it
1980 Citroen BX Estate, lost a belt pulley on a motorway sliproad, sold very quickly afterwards.
198? Ford Capri 2.0 Ghia, never had a heater, had to run with sunroof and windows open to keep the screen frost free in winter
1985 Audi Coupe
1986 Vauxhall Sports Hatch, ran to 160k with only normal servicing before my ex said "what does this orange light on the dash mean, its been on for about a month now!!"
198? Nissan Pararie
1987 Renault 25 GTS, pinched by my ex when she moved out, scrapped out of spite shortly afterwards
1992 Audi Coupe 2.2 Rallee Sport

Ok, so the list goes something like this:

1966 850 Mini
1969 850 Mini. Converted to 1100, re-converted to modified 997 Cooper spec
1972 Ford escort GT
Then whilst I had the following company cars:
2 x Ford Cortina's
3 x Ford Sierra's (2 x hatch, 1 saloon)
2 x Rover 400 (1 replaced under warranty!)
1 x Ford Focus
we had at home:
1978 1800 Morris Marina (yes, yes, I know)
1985 Austin Metro
1990 Ford Escort
1996 Ford Escort
Then after I gave up the company cars:
1983 MGF
2004 MGZS 180
2008 SEAT Leon Cupra
2003 MGTF
2011 SEAT Leon Cupra
...and, worryingly, I could probably remember the registration numbers of most!
