What is your favourite classic car

My dad had a Standard Vanguard in a biscuit colour.

Triumph Stag all day long.

We had a white Alfa Romeo Spider for a short time in the '70s. It was great fun to drive , but eventually th gear box packed in and it cost too much to replace it.

We have a yellow Saab convertible with cream leather interior for sunny days a la Howard’s Way. DH is convinced that it will become a classic ?

I’d love a vintage Ferrari but way out of my league. I content myself with watching Classic Cars on TV.

Not really a car buff but I did love my red 2CV.

Ford Cortina mk1 it was dark purple my favourite colour too.

Dh would probably say the white MGB (wire wheels, leather seats) he had before we were married. Not sure he ever quite got over having to sell it when he went to work in the Middle East.

The E-Type. Preferably in British Racing Green.
In my late teens I used to babysit for a very well off couple who used to go out a lot (hooray!) - the dad would nearly always drive me home in his BRG E-Type.
(This was before drink-driving laws.)
Their one toddler never woke up, either.
Money for old rope!

Oh yes, Woodmouse a proper MGB has to have chrome bumpers and wire wheels. Dh has a Z4 now, his retirement present. It’s fun to drive!

Memories flooding back with these posts. My Dad got a 3 wheeled Morgan for his 21st birthday in 1932!

My first car was a little white Fiat 500 - the petrol went in the front bonnet - there used to be 24 hour garages where you put the cash in the pump - my friend and I had no change, so we put in a five pound note. Petrol was 6/11 a gallon, so far too much for the small tank - we had petrol everywhere! Thank goodness no one struck a match.

Driving a Jag Xf now, but had a Porsche 928S4 auto for years - actually shed a few tears when I sold it and the new owner drove it away, but head had to rule heart! Worth a small fortune now. X

We used to travel round Europe in a Morris 1000 Traveller. People would point to it saying ‘baum’ but going up mountains passes our little moggie would still be chugging along when other cars had given up. It had a little bump where the speedometer was and we used to pat it there when it had been good. I thought they were going to remake them a few years ago but don’t know what came of it. . He eventually went to someone who used him for spare parts, after failing his MOT. It was a sad day. I still have his number plate.

Lotus E type convertible That should say Jaguar E Type !

Lotus E type convertible

Not ever being able to afford one, I have owned and loved: Beetle, when I passed my test in 1974, Morris Traveller, MGB Roadster (chrome bumpers + wire wheels), and finally 10 years ago a BMW Z3

My older brother’s first vehicle was a Morris van. This must have been in the late 60’s. I don’t know where he acquired it from but he hand-painted it green. It had no windscreen washers so he kept a Fairy Liquid bottle filled with water to hand and would open the window and squirt the windscreen to clean it.

It had holes in the floor, too, and in wet weather, driving through deep puddles would make the cardboard floor mats it had instead of carpet would gently float around in the footwell.

On the very rare occasions he would meet me from school in it, I was as proud as punch to show off my brother and his car.

My dream car is a Morris 1000 convertible with a red leather interior!

I've had a Mercedes SLK 230 kompressor, went like hell, but still want that moggy!

Jaguar E Type convertible.
The most beautiful car in the world in my opinion.

I had a Citroen 2CV6 but mine was plums and custard colour. Never got used to the handbrake though. Which is a distinct disadvantage in any motoring history.

I had an original Fiat 500. I used to have my small daughter in a car seat in the back with my even smaller dog. Also had a Citroen 2CV6, it was a nightmare to park and was bright yellow.

Triumph Spitfire, rag top, white. Happy days!

Gajahgran- Citroën light 15 very stylish. My Dad had one and I well remember being taken to Nursery school in it.

Citroen Light 15 for me. It was my first car and I wish I'd kept it.

We had a Cortina Mk 2, that DH loved, sometime in the 60's.

When I was a young thing, still at school, I used to walk past a beautiful, old style, sleek Citroen, that I thought very glamorous, and still do.

My own love was a Fiat 650, that looked almost as though it should be a wind up toy.
Loved it to bits, but the rust wasn't good.

Jeep Wrangler. with canvas roof. We gave it up for more comfort and the ability to hear each other. But only when we got to 70

Hmmm, hard to choose.A Lagonda perhaps, or a old Jag.
Or a Rolls, remember the film The Yellow Rolls Royce?
