A Robin Hood 2B kit car - 1.6 Sierra pinto engine with some nice carbs. I built it with my dad because ironically it seemed the cheapest way to get insured on a nice car. Took us pretty much a year to build, but worth it in the end

Renault 5 Campus bought from my parents

The bar stewards forgot to tell me that it had a leaky heater matrix that cost almost as much to fix as the car did to buy

Fortunately, I have no pictures of it

1977 (x-reg) Ford Fiesta 1.0L in Metallic Sky Blue. No pics at the moment, it's now just body shell being rebuilt by my mate with a zetec engine and various other improvements. Still planing to maintain the original colour.

No photies, but it was a Green Mini 1275GT. Body work fell apart after hitting a flood at about 65 - It skipped just like the Lambo across the river at the start of Cannonball Fever film. So I bought a bell nose mini and made 1 car out of 2. Great fun!

Talbot Sunbeam 1.3 LS. Bought and moved on a long time before I could drive. Made enough money on it to buy my notchback.
