Guess my list is relatively short as I've been working on it 40 odd years!

 

1968 F reg Minivan ex Rank-Xerox green/white - traded in for ->

1969 J reg 1275 Clubman antelope - sold privately

1971 L reg Escort Mexico yellow - sold privately

1973 M reg MGB Roadster harvest gold - sold privately

1976 N reg Escort RS2000 Mk1 - written off after bonnet fire

1976 N reg Renault 12 silver - sold privately

1978 P reg Polo Classic GL 1.3 purple - sold privately

1984 S reg Scimitar GTE 6a white - traded in for ->

1986 Y reg Fiesta 1.1 blue - traded in for ->

1990 C reg Volvo 370 silver - traded in for ->

1991 D reg Volvo 245 GLE estate blue - part of divorce settlement

1991 E reg Volvo 340 red - traded in for ->

1992 J reg Peugot 205 D silver grey - written off [loose chippings]

1994 M reg Peugot 205 STDT metallic green - traded in [what a contrast!] for->

1996 N reg Corrado Storm classic green [divorce settlement present to self] - after 8 happy years handed onto VAG-hag

2004 02 reg Bora V6 4M oceanic green - current daily

2007 N reg Corrado VR6 aqua - current fun [couldn't tolerate the C withdrawal pangs even after 3 years!]

 

I can fairly say I've enjoyed every one and none has been any significant problem, though the Scimitar involved a fair bit of love/hate which I attribute to the designers choosing the wrong parts bins when selecting components/manufacturers!

BTW the dates/reg letters are to the best of my recall - no prizes for detecting mis-matches!

Unfair, some of you have an advantage of age :lol: old g!ts. :tongue:

 

i've had not many, infact ive had more Corrados more then anything else.

 

2000 1, H reg Rover metro - rotting from the inside out, was my first car when id just passed my test at 17/18years old.... dont ask what went through my head. The most expensive thing about it was the stereo :lol:

 

2001 2, T reg pug 106 - not a bad little car, cheap insurance. But part ex'd to get >>>>

 

2005 3, M reg Corrado 2.0 8v Flash red - loved my first rado, was in excellent condition, just a shame it was written off. Though it was bought at auction apparently. So if anyone knows where M639 FNL went, get in touch! :D

 

2005 4, J reg Corrado G60 - mechanically sounded, needed alot of TLC on body work.

finally

 

2006 5, K reg Corrado VR bordeaux - loving it! even if i have spent lots of money on it. Its all comes with the ownership :D
