The mention of the VX 490 on another thread got me thinking. What cars do you remember your parents having?

Heres mine:     (The last one - the NSU I wrote off for my Dad when I was 18. He wasn't happy!)

Rover P6 3500

 

Vauxhall Ventora 3.3

Vauxhall Velox

 

NSU

 

 

[Goosenka]

Only memorable one

Perfect plate for Techieboy.

Well I am from Essex....

 

 

 

MTW812J (I can still remember the reg!!)

 

I was only 6 when Dad got his one.

 

Same colour as this with the black vinyl roof too.

 

Seriously cool car when you are 6 and all your mates are being driven around in Austin 1100s.

My dad had a purple Morris marina.

I remember my Dad having some sort of Lancia, and a Jag XJ6. By far the worst memory was the Toyota Tercel my Mum loved:

 

I can clearly remember the day we went to a Toyota dealership (Run by the Brundle family) to look at Hilux's, and then came away with that thing up there ^

And my mum one of these

Although my mums had a vinyl roof.

Fab. I remember those. Loads of room inside andfront wheel drive!

Oh and the purple marina is OK? Actually he had at least three. A purple one. A rust coloured one. And a baby diahorrea coloured one.  I remember that thing backfiring. I shat myself thinking someone was shooting at us

My dad also had a white Talbot solara :

 

 

Jesus what were my parents thinking about?

[MrGman]

I loved the maxi, my first car memories were in that car  

 

We also had a Opel ascona, proper old passat then we went all modern and got a Renault 11 Boston

My dad also had a white Talbot solara :

Mine had a white Talbot Alpine. I seem to think he thought the aluminium engine was the way forward. It just sounded asthmatic and horrible, if I remember correctly and it didn't last long. I blame it on some form of romantic French influence that having a villa in Brittany inflicted on us.
