Hi

I am afraid I am down to two cars at the moment, having just sold my Mini Clubman Estate, I have a mini Sidewalk, (1996) and a Ford E83W (1956) then My Penny Farthing if that counts?

Cheers

Dave

P.S... Good question by the way, surprised no one has asked before!
Very Happy

Hi Mark

I've got a few old relics although only the '49 Devon saloon is on the road at present. I hope to get the '51 A40 pickup sorted sometime in the not too distant, other 'gems' (ahemm) include 3 Bedford utes from Australia (pickups), the big ole Dodge truck, a '34 Austin 10/4 cabrio, the J2, and a Mk1 A40 Farina (family owned from new). For some reason I'm drawn towards Austin/Morris/BMC-related products more than any other??

Rick

Hi Mark

I m not that regular a contributor to this forum due to lack of time more than anything.
I own the following;

1976 Mini (customised with a 1360cc engine in and other goodies, purchased new by my father and stayed in the family ever since)

1977 Mini (retro fitted with mrk 1 parts to resemble a mark 1)

1970 Hillman hunter deluxe (being restored, owned by my father in law since new)

Would like to own older cars but no more space!!

Up until mid last year I had the following:

1954 Phase II Standard vanguard

1953 Austin Somerset

1957 Ford 103e Pop.

1987 Citroen 2cv

1995 Volkswagen VR6 Passat estate (a real minter that one)

2000 Triumph Sprint Sports

1970 BSA Lightning

1995 BMW R80r

With the wifes Peugot, a Suzuki Bandit 1200, and a Suzuki DR350 trail bike as well, things got kinda crowded!

I now have only the BMW Motorbike and the 2cv, the rest have been sold on due to a house move, however I have just moved house again (after only 6 months) and the new place has a nice big drive and a garage again.... so watch this space Laughing

I feel almost inadequate reading the above.

'89 Lotus Excel SA

Think there might only be about 250-300 left on the road.
Oh and a lot less SAs' with the ZF4 auto box
