Mk3 Escort estate, 1100cc base model, so basic that the radio only had one speaker! It also had one rear seat belt which had been fitted for the previous owner's disabled daughter.

That poor little engine worked so hard that the heater warmed up very quickly so it was quite popular with friends in the winter months

A 1955 Series 1 Land Rover, probably still the most reliable car I ever owned. Great fun in the sun (soft top off, doors off, windscreen down), not so much in the rain (individually operated wipers that went soooo slowly and always out of synch with each other). Push the big red button to start it - good thing. Impossible to lock the doors - not so good. Overall happy memories though

My old dad gave me his Hillman Imp back in 1984. I had just turned 18 and needed a car for work. He then went out and bought himself a Cortina.

I used it for 2 years then traded it in for a Renault 5. I hope its still in use.

There and to the left a bit

K reg (first time round) Austin Traveller (estate version of the Austin 1100) - had an electronic ignition that you had to use in tandem with the key otherwise the steering lock came on while you were driving (only did that once!!) and the rear seat back would fall back into the boot bit at random moments

My daddy bought me a C reg cream mini because he was fed up with me using his. I had to put a 2p behind the ch*ke to keep it out. I loved that car

A VW Beetle 1303S

Hubby bought it for me, (pre being hubby).

I loved it, he hated it as it was always breaking down.

Mind you, I managed to ruin the engine in his last week when it blew up on the motorway.

It’s at the garage looking poorly

Pulled a 4 door Consul Classic from a local little river someone had nicked it and dumped it there found the owner told him it was in a river he said if I wanted it I could have it.

Cost me £5 to pull it out a £1 worth of fuel to get it going nothing wrong with it apart from a dented wing which I pull out.
