Not a huge car roster here, but I've tended to hold on to cars - I had the Nissan 200SX for 12 years. All of these, except the Viva, Dolomite and '11 Mazda were brand new, cash purchases.

1989 - Vauxhall Viva Estate
1991 - Triumph Dolomite (not the Sprint, sadly!)
1997 - Peugeot 106 GTi
2000 - Nissan 200SX
2015 - Mazda 3 2.2D
2020 - MY21 Jaguar F-Type P450

Other than those, I've also owned the following through my old business:

1998 - Peugeot 306 Estate
2003 - Mazda 6 Sport AWD Estate
1998 - Alfa 156 (with sports pack 2 I think it was called, but before they added the huuuuuge spoiler). I think we kept this for about 10 years in the end.
2011 - Mazda 3 1.6D (written off at 5mph)


I only really miss the 106 and the Alfa. I wouldn't own either again mind you, but I absolutely loved them both.

Ford Escort MkI 1100 2-Door
Ford Escort MkII 2.0 Pinto Road Rally Prepared
Ford Escort MKII 1760 CF Fully Rally Spec Arched etc. Best car ever owned. Postman at time & couldn't afford to maintain properly. Neighbours must’ve loved me firing that up at 0420 Mon-Sat. Eventually straight swop, with a Nottingham Cocaine dealer for..
Ford Capri 2000S Never the same as the Escorts but didn’t fancy contacting previous owner. Saw him on World In Action not long after the swop. Best deal he ever had!
Ford Escort XR3i. Still not a patch on the MkII
VW Polo. This had the small engine but had great fun driving to away Forest matches in it 😄
1988 E Registered BMW 3 Series. 2-Door 318. Had it lowered. Great car, should have kept it but stupidly p/x for...
Porsche 944. Didn’t like it really. If your going to have a Porche get a proper one. Bit like the 2 litre... joke! 😄
Peugeot 205 GTI 1.9 Beautiful fast car. Sadly ran in into the ground using it as a company car for Royal Mail.
Couple of Royal Mail company cars. Best was brand new 1997 R reg Rover 200. Did 120k miles in it & never skipped a beat.

Then drove vans for 15 years before deciding to buy a nice weekend car. Only had three options. BMW M4. Quickly realised not for me. Cannot believe I considered one. Yuk 🤢

Ford Escort MkII Rally Prepared. Mint ones were/are approx £30/40k Still got the search saved on eBay. Really torn by this. Have been tempted by a couple recently but love my F too much, I think.

F-Type won in end mainly for practicality & my wife wouldn’t be seen dead strapped in a bucket seat. However I have mavericked my up so I get my rally fix. Love it more every time I drive it. Would only swop for white SVR coupe or white P7.

I tend to keep my cars for a long time so not many on my list spanning over 30 years of driving.

1989 X reg MG Metro
1991 G reg MG Metro (I liked them ok! :) )
1995 Peugeot 106 XSi (ex-demo, diablo red, cracking car, like a gokart with doors)
1999 Ford Puma 1.7 (first ever new car, great drive)
2009 VW Scirocco 2.0GT (really good car too)
2016 Audi TT-S (better than people think but just hasn't ticked my boxes)
2021 Jaguar F-Type P450 AWD (arriving in December)

If I had a lottery win with a big garage, I'd seek out a 106 for a run around.

I'm tempted to get one when the Jag arrives because it's likely to be my last combustion car so it'll be nice to have a history of those.

This will be fun!

A lot of these have been owned alongside each other as I do like a project!

1977 Triumph Dolomite
1982 Fiat Strada Abarth - this felt fast in the day and it made a lovely noise!
1979 Ford Cortina Ghia - doner for…..
1986 Ginetta G31 - I built this one with a rally tuned RS engine when I was 19 - mad!
1973 VW Beetle - no idea what I was thinking!
1991 Peugeot 205 GTI 1.9 - A special edition in Sorrento Green - my first new car and I wish I still had it!
1986 Ford Escort cabrio - my first convertible
1987 Audi 90 - lovely 5 cylinder rumble
1994 Citroen Xantia - when the kids came along
1983 Lancia Beta Coupe Volumex - my first supercharged car. I bought two more whilst looking for spares to fix the first one. It was also around the time I learned to weld - funny that! :D
1997 Rover 214S 16v
1990 SAAB 900
1994 Alfa Romeo 155
GTM Rosa - another kitcar. An interesting one, with a fibreglass monocoque and mid-engined MG Metro engine.
2000 Alfa Romeo GTV 3.0 24v
Eagle RV - another kitcar with engine swap, lots of modifications and a home respray.
2005 Alfa Romeo GT 3.2 24v
2006 Mercedes CLS 320D
1991 Lotus Elan SE Turbo - still got this. Chipped and tastefully updated.
2014 Vauxhall Ampera - plug-in hybrid - still got this for daily duties
2013 Jaguar F-Type Convertible 5.0 V8 - for fun and when I need something slightly more impressive than the Ampera

I bought the Jag because I really wanted to own a V8 before it was too late and they get legislated off the road! Looked at Vantage too, but the Jag tempted me away at the last minute.

Lots of bikes too, still have 3.

………. I’m thinking I might have a problem!

Nicely run in back in 2013 by one Chris Harris, amongst others! :shock: :D :lol:
