Used Cars
Years of ownership - Car Year of manufacture - Vehicle - colour - comments
1983 to 1986 - 1980 MkII Ford Escort 1.3GL - Beige with a Brown Vinyl Roof, Goodmans 007 Pod speakers in rear window - Nice!!
1986 to 1988 - 1979 Triumph Dolomite (Dolly) 1300 - Russet Brown - solid and relaible, but what a horrid colour!!
1990 to 1999 - 1985 Mini Metro (Minnie) 1.0 - White - ver poor car, but lasted 8 years until it fell apart!
1999 to 2001 - 1996 Peugeot 106 (Pugsley) 1.1 - White - Major brakes problem, calipers kept sticking on after 18 months of owning it, tried loads of garages to fix it, eventually got fed up and swapped it.
2001 to 2006 - 1998 Daewoo Matiz (Dolly) 0.8 - Silver with Alloys!! - The Space Pod, cute, small but deceptively spacious, quite quick for an 800cc car, started out as my car, until MINI came onto the scene, and hubby parted with his Land Rover and took Dolly the Daewoo as his car. Eventually fell to bits and was swapped for Fiat Panda.
2004 - 2005 - 1983 Series III 109 Ex Military Landrover (Hexy) 2.25 Petrol- 3 months out from restoration, softop, gorgeous, fun and pristine, tho too heavy on fuel, especially as a second car for hubby, £100 a month to do 125 miles! Eeek!
2006 to date - 2005 Fiat Panda 1.3 - Very spacious inside, pulls well and lots of nice touches, more rear passenger and luggage room than MINI, great for carrying stuff, but not as much fun as MINI!!
