I've always fancied the idea of a tractor, but have yet to succumb. What type of vehicle have you not yet owned, but like the idea of acquiring one day?

I to have always fancied a tractor, don't know why? I have only driven one once, and that was Buzzy's tractor, I drove it 50 yards around a farm yard , and then someone asked us if we could tow a bus, so my next 50 yards was with a bus in tow That said I don't know where or when I would use it.

The other thing I fancy is a lorry, something like a Morris MRA, or even better an Albion Chieftain

On a more modern note a Lotus Sunbeam.

I have written to Santa so I guess I just have to wait

A late 1969 or early 1970 Ford Cortina 1600E in either Ermine White or Silver Fox. The Ermine White car should be plain white but a Silver Fox car could have a black vinyl roof for contrast. And both cars must have the 13" chrome wheel embellishers.

All 1600Es had black interiors but if I had a white car I would like a non original red interior.

I still consider the 1600E to be a fabulous car.

although i've been driving lorries for years,and just about had enough of it,i'd like to own one to tootle about in in the 'summer' months.something like an Atkinson Borderer, Scammell Crusader,Volvo F88 or Scania 141 not an Albion though! drove one briefly for National Carriers

I fancy a Rolls,not to be flash but I like quiet cars. My P5b is very quiet and I had a early XJ6 that was almost silent. I've a feeling though that a Rolls just wouldn't be much quieter than either.
Or am I wrong?.

Type of vehicle rather than specific model? A shooting break I think, a proper woodie, British built of course.

Make mine a coach please. One of those short wheelbase ones with about 17 seats.

Duple Bella Vista

Cut moquette upholstery, oilcloth floor and those art deco interior lights that don't appear anywhere else but on coaches.

I drove PD3 Leylands and Lodekkas and Daimler fleetlines but that was 40 years ago. Would love a shot at one of them again.
Another type of vehicle funnily enough would be a fire engine or any emergency vehicle. The thought of driving through red lights and flying up the wrong side of the road really appeals to me.

Hi
This talk of coaches and buses reminds me of the Royal Blue Bristol LS the postwar one with the roof rack, always liked those for some reason.
