your dad's cars. Which one do you wish you had now?

Old man had a Jag xk120 lemans,i think thats what it was called,i think they are worth a fortune now,i would sell it and use the money on the camper...

 

Probably go for the Rover 2000 which was the pick of a poor bunch. My Dad used to keep cars for years. I learnt to drive in a Morris Oxford which handled like a tea-tray. He's a Honda man in his old age of course

 

No! Good grief.

 

I worked on those when they were new

 

My dad was big into motorbikes and cars. He had a few Vincent motorbikes. Well out of my price range now. Pre war MGs and a couple of Morgans. He also got a six bearth viking bay when it was only nine months old. He kept that for 14 years.

 

His last car was a 1303 karmann beetle which I now use every day.

 

Escort mk2 gt 1600 in red. The rest of his cars through the years were sh1t.

 

My dads cars in order

Austin Maxi x reg LFT 202X
Rover metro diesel m reg M 768 MJW (first car I drove)
Rover 25 w reg W 504 NBB
Rover 25 03 reg Nk 03 ...
Nissan note 58 reg NO IDEA

funny how I can remember those reg from my childhood

I'd have the maxi as it seemed huge when I was a nipper.

 

No votes for Mk1 Fiestas? My Sis had two. Great little cars.

 

My dad always bought Volkswagen beetles and then a fastback after his mini sub frames rusted within three years from new. Interestingly, despite half a lifetime's loyalty to the descendants of the Nazi KDF-wagen he's never bought Japanese cars because of 'what they did in the war.'

 

Back in the 70's a mate of mine bought a GT40 with his dad, used it as his daily driver for three years and then sold it for £13k profit. Worth several million now. They only bought the GT40 because a deal on a Feza 250 GTO fell through.

Wish my dad had been into cars.

 

Rover 2000TC.

 

Dads cars were:-

1954 BMW Isetta (4 wheels)
1959 Morris Mini Minor
1967 Morris 1300.

I would love to own the Isetta.

Is that your school jumper ?

 

1985 Rover SD1 3500 Vitesse , prior to that he had a 1979 Rover 2600s

 

SD1s are still handsome cars today! Don't really look dated. Pity they couldn't build them properly.

 

trubble is most of my old cars are older than the dads ones on ear

 

Your not wrong , I remember the 2600s having new wheel arches fitted because of rot, it was only 3 years old
