First car I owned was 1967 mini countryman that was given to me, it never ran again . Second was a reliant regal 1, that never ran either. Then it was a '67 mini van, a mate "borrowed" it and blew the motor up. I took two years to totally recon the motor (apprentice wages and a young family to support) by which time the body had dissolved .
First road legal car was a mk2 A40, 1100cc and seemed to stick to the road like crap on a blanket. That was followed by a 1.8 Marina mk1 that had an unhealthy appetite for rear springs. An Austin 1800S of 1971 vintage came next, fantastic car. I went from Telford to Sunderland in that in 4 hours in a blizzard, it was simply superb in snow! After that there was a Renault 5TS, a Fiat 131 Miriafori estate then I got into camper vans.

Since the mag ran this the classic car brigade have kept this going . I spotted a mint condition blue austin cambridge and it was a young guy at the helm so its not just old gits like me that appreciate this stuff.
