My cars, with approximate year of purchase:
'71 Citroen GS estate -- '78
'75 Alfa Romeo Alfasud -- '79 Sold to a policeman
'79 Alfa Romeo Alfasud -- '81 Wrecked when an idiot pulled out in front of
me.
First 3 cars all flat-4 engines!
?? Mini -- ~ '81 Sold
'75 Renault 5 -- ~'82 Sold for what we paid, some 3-4 years
later. No major repairs during that time. Cheapest car ever owned!
'84 MG Metro -- '84 Sold with the intent of buying MGB, did not
find one so bought Fiat Panda instead.
'87 Citroen BX estate -- '87 Sold when moved UK -> Texas
'83 Fiat Panda -- '89 Sold when moved UK -> Texas
'89 Ford Probe -- '90 Sold when moved Texas to UK
'90 Voyager -- '90 Sold when moved Texas to UK
'74 MGB -- '91 Shipped Texas to UK. Sold in UK to a german.
'91 Rover 2000 -- '93 Not technically mine. Company car. Saw over
130mph on autobahn.
'89 Volvo 440 -- '93 Incredible car. Must have had high perfomance
chip put in engine management. Sold when moved Italy to CA
'93 Renault 19 turbo diesel -- '95 Sold when moved Italy to CA
'97 Grand Voyager -- '97
'57 MGA -- '97 Current daily driver (if weather dry)
What bothers me is the record of buying MGs -- the first was bought new, the
second was 18 years old the last (and current) was 40 years old, what's
next: a 60 year old MG?
