Some superb lists, so here's mine; my 'Zed' motivation started with the blue 260z in my scalextric set when I was a kid....but it had to be a targa top.
Starting in 1989....usually owned 2-3 cars + bikes at a time as i like a choice of what to use in a morning
1978 Morris marina - my excuse is that i was still at college and had no money
1978 Daimler Sovereign, rusty but full webasto roof - bought with my first pay cheque
1980 Capri 1.6 - owed with Daimler because the Daimler had a drinking problem
1986 XR2 - because the Daimler had oil pressure problems and I sold the carpi
1986 Volvo 740 - the car that never needed any maintenance other than oil changes
1979 Mg Midget , kept it for 13 years and only used it one summer !, sold it
1980 Daimler Sovereign, less rusty than my first one, sold it
1984 Opel Monza - always wanted one and loved it but scrapped due to rust
1993 Rover 800 - head gasket blew, like they all did, sold it
1990 Range Rover Vogue 3.9 - because i had a Dinky one as a kid !, sold to a mate
1990 Daimler Sovereign xj40 variant, not enough headroom due to sunroof, sold it
1986 Opel Monza Gse still got it after 10 years but its about to be scrapped...
1993 Xj6 with lpg - ran like a swiss watch but eventually rusted away, scrapped
1989 Honda VFR...bit boring so sold it
1998 Kawasaki ZZR1100...absolutely ballistic....in a straight line, sold it.
1983 Datsun 280zx targa ....owned 8 years, hardly used it but love it !
1992 Range rover Vogue 3.9 - still got it - always needs parts and loves to rust.
2001 Yamaha R1..very quick and goes around corners, still got it
1998 Honda Firestorm...v-twin engine, real world performance and sounds fab
1994 xj6 with lpg - dropped and exhaust valve so not worth fixing, scrapped
1986 Opel Monza Gse pretty good condition still got it
1997 xj6 with lpg - still got it, x300 model, best combo of looks + reliability in a jag
1979 xj6 series 3 .the winter 2015 project !.....best looking saloon car ever made.
Current stock is 7 cars and 2 bikes......and yes, thats a great way to test how much the wife really loves you
...but recently they have all started to rise ever so slowly in value....
Cheers
Ash
