Bedford Beagle Van - Good little runabout for 12 months after I passed my test.
Ford Cortina 1600 Mk2 - alright but rotten as a pear.
Ford Escort 1300E Mk1 - One of the best cars I’ve ever owned.
Ford Cortina 2000 Mk4 auto - Expensive mistake, should have bought an Escort Mexico.
Ford Escort 1300 Mk3 - Ok I suppose
Ford Escort Mk3 1600 Ghia - Excellent car !
Ford Fiesta XR2 Mk2 - Good for racing around Wales, Perhaps needed a bit more power.
Vauxhall Astra GTE 16V MK2 - Bought new, great car kept for 6 years, got stolen & recovered.
Ford Mondeo Ghia 2.5 V6 Mk1 Just brilliant!!
Ford Fiesta Ghia 1300. No go whatsoever.
Ford Focus 2000 Ghia Mk1 - I just didn’t like it.
Jaguar XK8. Very expensive mistake!! Totally Unreliable and also put me of autos for life. Sold it quick before the
Jaguar secondhand 12 month warranty ran out (I still have nightmares about that car to this day).
Ford Mondeo Ghia X 2.5 V6 - Another Great Car, Fully loaded, great engine and a relief from that XK8.
MX5 2.0 Sport Roadster Mk3 - Brilliant car of course & totally trouble free.
Toyota RAV4 3 door MK2 2.0 petrol - all round brilliant car, do anything, go anywhere.
Finally, so far, MX5 MK 3.5 2.0 Sport Tech Roadster, Has to be the best car so far, a bit better that the mk3, although for the 9 months I’ve owned it not trouble free. still, looking forward to some top down motoring soon, Just wish I hadn’t wasted so much money on some of the cars in the past (Jag), hindsight eh? Intend to stick with sports cars now - If the wife and myself can continue to get in and out of them ok, ( 60 in a few months), lastly wish we also had the RAV4 as well when we need to carry extra stuff or park somewhere a bit iffy, but couldn’t justify the expense of owning two vehicles now we are both retired.

Paul.
