My first vehicle the ex RAC Mini Van - 1975 |
||
 |
 |
|
|
Next - a strange choice, but I was doing Voluntary work with a great gang and we went every where in my "Superwomble" ! ! ! ! From one strange choice to another - my MG Midget ! This was a great car and I owned it during a very hot summer ! |
||
 |
 |
|
|
After the Midget I a Morris 2200 and boy did it shift if you know what I mean ! |
Next had the mini back from my brother-it now has windows and a new paint job !" |
|
 |
 |
|
|
Mini was replaced by a Vauxhall Chevette. You will note it changed appearance over the years ! |
||
 |
 |
|
|
In 1982 I purchased a run out Ford Cortina 1.6LS, going cheap with the introduction of the Sierra |
||
 |
 |
|
|
In 1984 the Cortina was replaced by a brand new Ford Fiesta 1.1 Popular Plus which I kept for around 9 years. |
||
|
Next was a Fiat Panda 4x4 Sisley - great fun, could drive it with your wellies on, Group 1 Insurance, tank of petrol lasted ages !! (This is not mine but is a picture of an identical one) |

Then in September 1996 I bought my first Volvo 440 - a GLT in excellent condition. In February 2003 I bought a 1996 Volvo 440 1.8 GS Auto, this was in better condition than the GLT was ! It only had 29,000 miles on the clock when I bought it. I sold it in March 2005 with 37,000 miles on the clock ! |

 |
|
|
|
Then had a Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.0 Litre, for a limited time on 2005. But was just too uneconomical. |
I then stayed on the 4x4 theme and had a Renault Kangoo Trekka which was more economical and functional for my needs compared to the Suzuki | |
  |
As of January 2009 I have got a Fiat Panda 4x4, even more economical than the Kangoo, bit different to the Panda I had many years ago !!!!! | |
| Next some pictures of vehicles I have driven but not owned ! | ||

I mentioned Voluntary work earlier - this was done with the Voluntary Community Services (VCS) in Cardiff. This is the VCS Transit that we took over and painted up !

|
VW Polo - hired to go Bruce Springstein concert in Stafford a very long time ago ! |
||
 |
 |
|
|
over the years - this one was a One of the many Ford Transits hired moving job to West Wales. |
This was a hired Ford Cortina (next to my brothers Triumph Dolomite with me on the bonnet ! (There was a breeze at the time !) |
|
