.Mk1 2000 V4 Capri
Mk1 1968 Lotus Twin Cam Escort Paid £250 for it on 1980 when i was 19. Oil leaks and unreleliable but where is she now though i wonder?
Mk1 3.0 GXL Granada

Mk1 2.6 RS Capri LHD (fibre glass doors and plastic windows) Fun car but nobody knew what it was. and again wonder where is she is now?
BMW 3.0CS
BMW 3.0CSL ( Lightweight and lively in the wet)
Numerous RS 2000's both MK1 & 2's They were as cheep as chips back then......but look at the price of them now?
One of my all time fav's was the very 1st car i bought brand new,
Mk3 3.0S Capri, KTM 735V
I spent fortunes on that car, had her "X" Packed arched, Niel Brown Grp1 engine with triple weber carbs on top of the V6 It was a monster Capri.
As a road car at the time i was running a 2.8i Seirra XR4i (Someone had to)
But it's day's were numbered when my all time favourite car was released and what turned out to be the 2nd new car that i ever owned.
D440 UNK 3dr Sierra Cosworthin gorgeous diamond white.
Later i also was also lucky enough to own a genuine RS500 again in white and one of only 49 ever made by Tickford..... Where is she now i wonder??
Scorpio 2.9 Cosworth Estate (Family by then)
My first Sunbeam Tiger which i bought back from Germany 28yrs after leaving the UK. Works Rally Tiger AHP 293B.
Ex Andy Rouse RS 500 Touring car ( Never ending pit of money)
Land Rover 300 ES Discovery ( The slowest thing iv'e ever owned)
BMW 3.2 Evo SMG M3 Wow, what a monster of a car, enough torque to pull a house down and one i look back on with fondness and huge affection.
M5, Compared to the M3, too big and heavy i thought.
64 Sunbeam Tiger
59 Alpine Both under restoration.....
And finally the apple of my eye is Lucy.....my 54 plate 4.2lt XKR convertible. Lucy as in Juicy Lucy, not the cheepest car to run if your in a hurry but just the nicest car to look at from any angle in my opinion.
That's me done, and thank you for allowing me to ramble on down my lanes of memoies.
