Morris Ital 1.7 HL Estate in Denim Blue metallic. 8-)

Just like this one :


Plenty of room in the back with the seats folded down but insufficient non-existent street cred meant that I was destined never to utilise it in the Entwood sense.  :'(

Y reg Cavalier 1600 GL.

I really loved that car, and being young and stupid, killed it.

So now I'm just old and stupid instead. 8-)

HB Viva,should have put me off Vauxhalls for life really. ;D

i used to build the rear axles for them at Ellesmere port.
Bet that was very interesting ::)
I got through 5 clutches and 3 gearboxes in a year on mine,could change a clutch in just over an hour before I finally wrecked it. ::)

Yeah. It was a laugh a minute, building 400 rear axles every night (well, one side).

A bright orange Skoda 120 Estelle. What a car. Rear drive with the engine in the back. I once had it fishtailing down the road (it was snowing though)!!  ;D ;D

Mine was a vauxhall chevette. Paid £150 for it,that was in 1989 when i was a pup of 19. Blue,the saloon version,cant remember the engine size. Sure it said something about  "couldnt pull the skin off a rice pudding"  on back. ;D ;D
One of the worst cars i ever owned but just like the 1st time you fall in love you never forget. ;D


Oh how can you say that, mine got fitted with a 1600 x flow engine and gearbox and with the best double wishbone front suspension that was about it would out corner anything similar at the time. Sooo much better than these god awful macpherson struts.

1965 101 Victor in 2 tone green. Good car but went onto Fords after. Escorts & Cortinas were better & cooler than vivas & victors all that time ago.
   I'd love an HB Viva now though.


Hey what about the Viva GT and the Brabham Viva, they where pretty cool in my opinion.

BMW 1602 in a horrible teal colour but ditched after a couple of months for a 2002tii in red. 8-)   Kept this until I couldn't afford the insurance - pity, because it was a great wee car :y :y

1965 Ford Anglia 1.oL Deluxe
Spent a few quid doing it up with 5.5J Rostyle wheels, twin choke carb, 4 branch manifold and semi-straight through exhaust.
Nicknamed it "The Maz" (Maseratti) ::)

Mine was a green 1976 Vauxhall Chevette, or Shove it as we used to call it. It had a huge Brown roll back sunroof which came in handy for climbing through when I accidentaly locked my Baby daughter in there  :D I loved it but it just rusted to death in the end  :'(
