1960s...Many mk1 Cortinas. Consul 375.( great motor )Mk1 Escort van. 105E Anglia GBD 358C.
1970s. Marinas and...Marinas. Avenger estate. A few mk3 Cortinas never had a mk2. mk4 Cortina.WLU155S. Funny how you never forget some regs.
1980s.A few Mk5 Cortinas. Montego.Maestro. Itals.
1990s.Mazda Premacy. Had a works van which I used all the time and tended to run older cars like marinas.
2000s. 53 Plate Premacy and my Suzuki Alto.

There will be many more I have forgotten.
