The first and favourite car I recall was a Humber Hawk Series 3, the rounded one before the Snipe shape. It was born in the late fifties same as me. Two tone blue and light grey, reg TPT 518. Next fave was its replacement, a brand new in 1965 Zodiac Mk 3. White with black vinyl seats which my short trousered legs stuck to in hot weather.

A variety of company Rover P6 followed and his last car, which he enjoyed for only a few months before his early death in the late seventies was an Oyster gold Capri Ghia.

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

My dad had a flying Standard 12, which was laid up during WW2.
He saved his petrol coupons for holidays & we mainly went to N. Devon, travelling overnight, with my sister & I tucked up under a blanket on the back seat.
The rust gremlins finally got it :(

I couldn't afford the Lada 1200 when I was a student I had the FSO 1200 :lol:

I don't know which was more embarrassing; owning the FSO or being the idiot who tried to steal it. :omg:
