When you were growing up , what car did your parents have?

[Snee2]

The first car I remember my dad having was a Micra

A beige Granada!!!

A turd brown coloured Allegro that broke down constantly

A turquoise Simca
Red cortina with a black roof
Metallic Brown cortina
Silver cortina
Blue Astra
Red Astra(I learned to drive in that one)
Another red Astra
White Astra
Then he had to get cars suitable for his disabilities, so 3 Renault meganes, amd now on his second golf plus

What do you mean he’s creature of habit?

Blue Ford Escort

A blue Mini, and then a blue Ford Escort, registration number RRY 221G.

I have no idea why I can remember that reg, but no others

My mum had a green mini then when that fell to bits she got a red Vauxhall Nova.
My dad had company cars but I think they were all a Vauxhall Cavalier SRI

A 3 door gold Metro. There may have been a white one beforehand, but I might be confusing it with the white Rover we had after the metro.

One grandads car was a B-reg with no seatbelts in the back, my other grandads car was a burgundy Montego named Monty. He used to let me sit on his lap and "steer" when he reversed into his drive when I was very little!

Are we the only family to have had Rovers??? It was always a Rover, the first I remember coming with them to buy was red with tortoiseshell trim inside the doors.
Eventually they switched to Ford.

A cream mini traveller was the first car, then a Morris Marina in a sort of sludge yellow/green colour. It had plastic seats - that was fun coming back to the car on a sunny day and burning the back of your legs sitting on the back seat !

Then a beige Vauxhall Cavalier - fairly normal compared to the first two

Triumph Spitfire, Triumph Dolomite, an old Morris Minor, Austin Princess, Renault 21, Peugeot 305 estate, Peugeot 505 estate, a couple of Peugeot 205s, a Ford Fiesta that got given to my older DB ...

My aunt always had Rovers (still does ...).

My GPs had a Vauxhall Chevette, which my grandad would rev up the engine in and then let off the handbrake and shoot backwards out of their driveway!

Vauxhall Cavalier.

My dad had a Vauxhall Victor. He had to buy a new car as the Victor one day spontaneously combusted into flames. Dad ended up buying a Vauxhall Cavalier.

A Ford Popular, then Hillman Avenger, then Ford Capri, and Ford Corrina.

My dad always had an Audi, changed every 3 years.

Another Morris Traveller here, I have very happy memories of travelling back from holidays in the boot piled with duvets, my sister and a friend belting out Abba for about 5 hours whilst driving my poor parents mad.

We lived in the States for a while and had a station wagon with the wood side panels, my father clearly had a thing for cars incorporating wood!
