Dad’s motors.

[sierraman]

My grandfather didn’t have a car, he had a green metro van with work though, on the other side my other one had a Talbot Sunbeam Trio. 

[AnnoyingPentium]

Dad had:

D-reg Vauxhall Nova Merit 1.2

L-reg Cavalier 1.8 LS

H-reg Vauxhall Nova SR 1.4

K-reg Toyota Celica GT4 ST185 LE

L-reg Toyota Celica GT4 ST205

Few runabouts too, such as Mk1 Puntos, and a Hyundai Accent he owned for about three days. Oh, and a 1999 Vauxhall Vectra Arctic saloon for a week.

My Mum's had a few more:

1998 Fiat Punto 1.2 SX60

J-reg Vauxhall Nova SR 1.4

G-reg Celica GT4 ST185

1997 Vauxhall Astra Arctic

L-reg Celica ST205

S-reg 1998 Punto

Another S-reg Punto

2003 Punto 3dr Dynamic Sport (?) in black.

YET ANOTHER S-reg Punto

Another L-reg Celica ST205

2001 L200 Animal 2.5TD

M-reg Celica

2008 Nissan Navara DCI

2010 Toyota Auris 1.6 TR

2019 Dacia Duster (current car)

I think there's a few I've missed, especially like cheap shitters that were hoovered up for £200-£300 (like the Astra I suppose), they just don't stick in my mind.
