Cars we were brought home in

Don't have any photos of the actual car unfortunately but it was a 1987 Blue MK2 Cav Estate in 1997.

My mum has always maintained that it's her favourite car that she's owned (placing it above a MK1 CRV, MG B GT, MG Midget and lots of minis). Sadly it gave up the ghost in 2000 and became uneconomical to repair so it was scrapped.

Was born at home but I think my early days were spent in a pram in the back of an A35 van.

Thinking about it my three were taken home in  a Dismal 75 estate, a 9-5 Vector Sprot 2.3t and an Omega 2.2 GLS respectively. 

Given that No3 is only eight that is all pretty AS I'm sure you would agree.

Parents didn't have a car when I was born. In fact I was about 4 before dad actually bought his first car,  a Mk6 Reliant Regal, public transport for everything else.

To avoid mum having to bring me home from the hospital on the tram (the old Sheffield ones), I believe her brother took us home in his Riley (internet picture, not the actual car).

I was brought home from the maternity unit back in 1974 in my dad's 1968 Vauxhall Viva SL90 HB 2dr - UAB 951F. He owned this through to 1985 when he part exchanged it for a brand new Sierra Mk1 1.6 Laser, I remember him being allowed £50 for it against the new car. It'd only done 50k miles but had been patched up for numerous MOT's for a good many years.

nah @busmansholiday ya aint losing it!

 

as for the thread title/question, I was brought home in a taxi of some kind, mum just wanted to get home from the hospital ASAP, so didn't wait for dad in the volvo 244 to come pick her/me up LOL

(which I was then carted around in, until it was sadly scrapped a couple weeks after my 2nd birthday in 2001, so I do very vaguely remember it!)

Haven't we already had this same thread earlier this year, or is Corona Virus affecting me ?

Yup. And I'm pretty sure I might have said escort van last time. To be fair I was very young and he had a lot of vans ?
