Favourite old car/s

[steve edwards]

i still have an avenger in my garage , and once bought a lada riva estate from this guy down the road , paid fifty quid for it , drove it for six months and then scrapped it for thirty quid , not a bad rate of return me thinks

Not bad for a Lada at any rate

I regret selling my Capri 3.0S yellow with twin sidepipes, God it was loud and ideal for blasting leaves by the kerbs, maybe i should of sold it to RailTrack for removing leaves on the lines !

Yes wasn't liked much when arriving in dusty gravel carparks, the exhausts somewhat created a bit of a dust cloud !!

Re: Favorite old car/s

for some reason i always liked the lada.
maybe my dad having one had something to do with it.

I liked my grandpa's cars were my favs.He had a Hillman,not sure what kind,can't tell from the pic.The brake was at the side next to the door,so I got to sit in the middle!After that,he had a bright yellow Opal Kadett,couldn't miss it.My other fav was my dad's bronze Consul,had a wind open sunroof,which I used to stick my head out!!!!Yes,those were the days lol

Re: Favorite old car/s

Favourite old cars I like include the Ford Escort Mk1 (particularly the performance versions), Cortina Mk3 and Mk4, Granada Mk1. Rover SD1 (my dad owned one), Rover P6, Austin Maxi, also have a sneaking like of Allegros (the first car I owned was a 1976 Allegro 1.3 estate), Hillman Hunter, Avenger, Minx (series V - the late '60s 'razor-edge style in particular), Simca 1301/1501 saloon (dunno why, I've always liked the look of those), Fiat 131/132 (likewise), BMW 2002 saloon and touring.

Also, I'm rather partial to classic U.S. muscle cars - Ford Mustangs, Torino, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Pontiac G.T.O. (especially 'The Judge' versions), Chevrolet Nova, Chevelle, Camaro, Corvette, Buick Grand National, Pontiac Firebird & Trans Am.

The Vauxhall Victor early 70s model, our family car right up to 1985 lol. I was really upset when my mum sold it.

Re: Favorite old car/s

I completely missed out Vauxhalls (what was I thinking?!). I also like the Victor, especially the FD (1967-'72), and the HB & HC Vivas, plus the Firenza, and the later Mk2 Carlton.

Every time I come to this site, I want to go and ask my mum to dig out old piccies, I'm sure she has loads of the old Victor on days out we did etc.

Re: Favorite old car/s

I'd love a Vauxhall Astra GTE Mk1. I love them. They were great in their time. The Mk2 Astra GTE was better but doesn't have as much character in my opinion. I also love Hilman Imps, Peugeot 205 GTI's and 309 GTI's. My Dad had a really nice Firenza in the 70's.

Re: Favorite old car/s

I loved the original Mini in it's day but I'd have trouble getting in one now! But I also loved the wood trimmed Morris Minor estate!
