Ok, so the list goes something like this:
1962 850 Mini 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!
