In 1975, hubby bought his brother`s old Hillman Minx estate to learn to drive in. We had it for just over 2 years, then bought another Hillman Minx, but a saloon, just as an interim, then we bought a Chrysler 2 litre. Our next car was a Ford Zephyr, so comfy, but temperamental. Next was a Peugeot 405, I wasn`t keen, then it was written off in an accident caused by a driver who didn`t stop. We were quite a while before we could afford another decent car, but we had a very cheap Sunbeam Alpine for a while, then a Ford Consul, extremely cheap, but a lovely car. Once we were back looking for a "proper" car, we bought a Cortina. A few years later we went "upmarket" and got our first Rover. After that we had an Acclaim, 3 more Rovers, and a Volvo, not one of the big ones, a smaller 1725cc one. We`ve also had a Nissan, but our last car was a Vauxhall Vectra estate, sold after hubby died, as I never learned to drive. Out of all those, my all time favourite was the Chrysler 2 litre, beautiful car.
