My son had an Ital saloon a few years back and had the General Lee coupe until he sold it. He now has 2 Vauxhall Calibras. Not classic cars but nice looking motors. A bit near the ground for me as I struggle to get out of it. But he has no inclination of getting another classic.

Dad ran a Wolseley 1500 until a couple of years back, and still has his VdP 1300 for shows and local runs. My brother hasn't really shown any interest in buying an oldie (he has an AMG E55 Merc at the moment), but I do keep working on him to buy maybe an old Landy one day.

Our four-year-old has one or two old pedal cars, if that counts!? Smile

My son has two Matra Bagheeras and a matra 530, but it's a bit of a race which will be ready first - a Matra or a Morris!

My son has a mk1 Triumph GT6. He hasn't got time to do the minor work needed to get it back on the road and is selling it now.

Oldest brother drives a Rover P4. Youngest brother had a TR4 for a while years ago, then a Range Rover Classic, is now into moderns (Audi SCool.
How far can you stretch "family"? A nephew has a classic car dealership.
Son suddenly has an interest in our Hillman Imp, maybe we will build a kit car together (Lotus Seven type).

Nice the early GT6s, wasn't sure about the MkIII but the MkI and especially the MkII would be fun to own.

I used to watch the Dukes of Hazard, if only to admire the graceful curves and how they managed to fit so much into so little. Laughing
