(ducks and hides  :D )

Bush Tucker Man:

There's a T(?) plated Cortina not too far from me used as a daily driver by its elderly owner
Plus a Crayford that's been for sale for a while just up the main A-road

Some of the late 80's and early 90s cars have totally vanished. OK, they were a bit rubbish but where did the Montegos and Meastros go?

Most Montego 'CountryMan' seem to have donated engines to Series LR's :lol:
I know someone with a 20,000mile mint Maestro van

GLC 949T Wasnt a bad car all things considered. Certainly better put togther than my brothers S reg Escort Si. I have the feeling the boat engine is a 2.0 Pinto from one of these.

V8MoneyPit:
I'm sure glad to say that Mini's and Morris Minor's are still thriving and have huge followings. Otherwise I'd be out of business  :lol:

Now let me think...... old cars I've owned...

Marina 1.3 Coupe (OK, I know, but only had it for a few months after I passed my test!)
1965 MG Midget (Bought it when I was 17 and still have it 25 years later)
Various Morris Minors, including 2 vans
A couple of MGB GT's, chrome bumpered of course!
Couple of Rover SD1's
Daimler Sovereign (XJ6)
Triumph 2000 Mk1
Hillman Minx

More recently had a couple of 80's Mercs. Built like, well, you know.... but boring as hell  :lol: Followed by a 1988 Scirocco.... now that was a fun car. Would easily go three wheeling around roundabouts  :twisted:

I'd like to find a really nice SD1 Vitesse if I could, but I suspect Sarah would kill me if I bought another car right now  :roll:

Dad had a Rover 2000SC and later a 3500TC both brought for peanuts and sold for a lot more :) Loverly gars and thats where I discovered the Rover V8, net another one a year later as a boat inboard. I have seen these still about sometimes.

Some of the late 80's and early 90s cars have totally vanished. OK, they were a bit rubbish but where did the Montegos and Meastros go?

I noticed that Capris are all but gone. And when did you last see a Renault Fuego?
