Good memory test .....
Morris Minor 1000 Austin A35 van (with a mattress instead of rear seats ) Ford Cortina MkI 1200 VW Beetle (1954 model with 6 volt electrics - not to be driven after dark!) Triumph Herald 1360 Ford Anglia 105E (997cc) Ford Anglia 1560cc (self built rally car) Ford Cortina MkII 1300 Hillman Avenger 1500 Morris Marina 1.8 coupe Ford Cortina MkIV 1600 Fiat Fiorino Van Fiat Uno 55 Fiat Uno 60 Peugeot 309 1300 Renault 19 diesel 1.9 Nissan Sunny 1.3 Citroen Picasso 2.0 diesel (90bhp) Citroen Picasso 1.6 diesel (110bhp) Rover 75 Diesel Classic SE Honda CRV 2.2 diesel ..... I reckon that's 21 cars in 51 years of driving. Eight of them were company cars and the rest my own, bought mainly from one particular garage which sold stuff off at trade price with no warranties at all.

It was a garage called Wentane Motors, owned by a lovely bloke called Ian Burden, in Yarm Road, Stockton. Met him through my brother who worked across the road at Fred Dinsdale's Rover dealership. He was a keen amateur rally driver - a bit like me, only a lot more amateur in my case

How many cars have I owned
Total of seven in 46 years since passing my driving test around 1972:
Heinkel 175cc bubble car (3-wheeler) Honda Civic Honda Accord Toyota Corolla 1.3 Toyota Corolla 1.6 Daihatsu Charade Rover 75 2.0D Tourer Connie I bought the Rover second-hand in 2004 and it’s still serving me well and is the best car I’ve had. Its fuel economy is better than the 175cc single cylinder bubble car easily on a long run and is infinitely more comfortable! (It’s been serviced by Jules for at least the last 10 years!) |

I've lost count. Possibly approaching 150. Maybe more.
My first car was 1979 at age 9. Anglia van. Drove it round the fields. By the time I went to secondary school I was at twenty. When I met my wife aged 22 I was in the 90+ total. I did list them all around that time. When she asked me "how many cars do you actually have?" I counted 33 at once! Most were cheap bangers rotting away. But also included 5 Range Rovers, 5 Jag XJs an XJS, a Beach Buggy 6 MGBs and 2 Midgets. And 6 Daimler DS420s. I've had anything from a Lada Niva and FSO pickup to a Bentley S1. At the same time! In 2008 I discovered Porsche 924s. Awesome cars, especially the Turbo. So easy to work on. Cheap. Reliable. Great daily drivers. After 23 of those in 8 years I had to walk away. They nearly cost me my marriage. For me it was an addiction. A real problem. Getting in debt to buy more cars. My poor Mother had 11 parked in her garden at one point! Now, about to turn 50 I think I have it out of my system. I have the ZT. A ZT for spares. A 75 spares car as it's the same colour as my ZT. I have 2 Mini Cooper S R53. One road going which my 18 yo seems to think is his, one spares car. Another R50 Mini Cooper for parts. A Peugeot 3008 which the missus uses and my Daimler DS420 which ive had nearly 30 years. I've never had so few for nearly 40 years! I have to stay off ebay because I cant stop looking at classic cars

Of little practical use, of course, but so interesting.
