What drove you before an MG/Rover

Darkxs · 22nd February 2014, 15:04

Going through my Haynes manual searching for the 75 one I cam across a few for other cars that I used to have. Having a giggle I looked at some of them and it reminded me of all the cars I owned so far. Got some pictures of some of them

I thought I'd make a list:
Peugeot 205 1.4
Nissan Sunny Traveler 1.6
Renault 19 1.8 16v
Renault 5 1.4
Skoda Estelle 1.05 - I was desperate for a set of wheels after a crash

Ford Fiesta 1.8D
Nissan Cherry 1.2
Ford Mondeo 1.8
Toyota Corolla 2.0D
Rover 75 1.8 - loved it, ex wife broke it

Jaguar XJS 5.3 - because I wanted a V12
Vauxhall Corsa
Jaguar X300 3.2
Peugeot 306 1.6

Two cars period
Range Rover P38 4.6 - because I wanted a V8
Citroen Xantia 2.0 HDI - because a V8 was too expensive to use daily
Ford Puma 1.7 - because the Citroen was falling apart

Back to one
Rover 75 CDT

So far I'm sticking with my Rover, just a lovely car to own and drive

Mk I Escort Mexico
Fiat Tempra station wagon
Mondeo 2.0 Zetec facelift
Renault Laguna II estate

Clarabell (my Connie) Cheapest, comfortablest and best lookin motor of all

Next, Give Clarabell to the misses (get rid of Renault) and get a top spec 75 diesel for me

If I had the space I'd probably be after a Rover 75 V8 or an MG 190

I used to love speed and power, the Saab was circa 540bhp and front wheel drive !

These days as I am on the downward slope towards 50, I am not bothered about speed, more about comfort and arriving in one piece !
