Im not as old as most of you lot so the cars ive had were fairly recent

1st: Ford Fiesta 1 litre - sound engine, shame about the bodywork
2nd: Ford Fiesta 1.2 litre - again, sound engine, shame about the bodywork
3rd: Ford Orion 1.4 litre
4th: Vauxhall Nova 1.2 litre
5th: Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 [brand new] - in black (an extra £199 for that colour)
6th: Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTI [brand new] - in Ultra Blue (an extra £499 for that colour)
7th: Vauxhall Astra 1.6

My favourite was the Blue Corsa.  The colour was brilliant and for a 1.3 CDTI is didnt half shift.  Was just a bit small.  My claim to fame was however that I was one of the very first people in the country to get the new design in 2003.

The Astra is a close second though (even though I tend to need a bank loan every few months) mainly because its very comfortable and quiet.

Ill try and find some pictures and post them - I would post links to similar cars but I might get told off by admin  ;) ;)

Was your Prefect the 3 speed side valve 100E variant, or the later 107E?

Dad had the 3 speed, I had the 107E which blew up on the M1 coming back from University.  Then got a 105E with the slopng back window.

Yep, we had one of those........complete with indoor fish tank (leaked like a colander)!!!

My first car.  It was designed specifically for ladies with ideas taken from a survey in Cosmopolitan magazine so it had special features like a vanity mirror on the driver's side .... very handy for putting my lippy on whilst driving to work ;)
