There's a blast from the past, like my Isetta.

Was it one of the later ones with the 250cc Villiers 2T engine or an earlier model with the 197cc engine and a kick-start under the bonnet?

Hi, it was a Mark F with a Villiers 31a 250cc single cylinder 4 speed no reverse, it had a Siba dynastart but could also be kick started if battery power was too low. Red body with beige roof, I resprayed the roof black. Had this when I had no car licence.

Austin mini metro
Vauxhall nova 1000cc
Vauxhall Astra mk2
Fiat uno
Rover montego
Kia Mentor
Fiat Brava
Hyundai accent
Kia rio
Citroen picasso
Kia sedona (manual)(writen off due to some T££t vandalising it)
Kia sedona (auto)
Kia rio mk2
Vauxhall vectra

The kia sedona manual was probably the best car I owned. I was gutted when it was written off. It needed a full respray which was uneconomical. Though I do like my vectra apart from little anoyances that need some money spending on.

As you can see, I do like Kia's. You get a lot of spec for your money.

Having worked in the motor trade since 87 I won't list all the demo cars I've had Too many to list as they get swapped every 3 months or so- got my first in 1990 was a white Orion. Favourites were the Ford Pumas I had when at Ford. Have a nice sensible German car now!

Blimey, what a memory test:

Vauxhall Viva HA -1963

Mercedes 220 SE -1964

Renault 16TS - 1968

Morris 1300

Renault 16, but not a TS

Audi 100S coupe, LHD import

MG 1300

Peugeot 304

Then followed a succession of company cars, of which I can only recall

couple of Escort estates

Hillman Avenger

Mini Clubman

Fiat 127 Palio

Renault 5

Mini GT

VW Golf

Then back to my own cars:

Austin 1300

Datsun Sunny

Talbot Horizon

Austin Princess

Another mini

Escort 1300 estate

Nissan Micra

Seat Toledo

VW Passat estate

and finally, Mondeo estate though currently driving OH's elderly Audi A4 as it has lighter steering and my shoulder's bad

The one I would most like to have again is the Merc. I really loved that car, it was so comfortable and drove like a dream. We somehow blew the head gasket and sold it in 1975 for about £30 for scrap. Three years later I saw it in Enfield, immaculately restored, and nearly cried. It's probably worth quite a bit now.

I liked the Reanault 16s too, I rather like column change.
