Black MK1 ford Granada 3.0, had a sticker in the window saying: Official Mafia Staff car, it also had black curtains in the back, people used to say do you really work for the mafia or nice funeral car, I thought that was brilliant  8-) 8-) 8-)

Bought in 1963 a 1958 Ford Popular E93A - 1172cc side valve with optional heater and water pump!!  That car travelled all over the country from Lands End to John o Groats (actually).  Eventually was souped up (high comp head, twin SUs, gas flowed manifolding with straight through system, uprated g/box, LMB suspension mods and wide Zodiac wheels - used as road and rally car!!

Used to "commute" from home (near Gatwick) to Manchester Uni.

The memory is dimming, but I think it was a Renault 4 maybe a 1963-64 750cc. Had a bench seat and the famous frog dash gearchange - not too bad as that model only had 3!

Despite the 6V electrics and only being used for a station run, it would start first turn, summer and winter. Did something like 5 million miles to the gallon  :D

Gave it up for a Morris Traveller with more room for  surf boards.

Accidently bought it again 5 years later (in the dark) without knowing..... despite it being the other end of the country!   :o
