my car collection started when i was 15:
mine,
1974 volvo 245 estate 2.1ltr, b21 engine, m75 gearbox with splitter (turn 4 speed into 7 speed)
1981 mk1 golf n, 1093cc (only one left in uk with original engine according to a database on a collectors site)
1998 renualt traffic hi-top - LWB van 2.0ltr diesel (75 miles to 8 litres fuel) currently in the middle of being converted into a camper.
household owned present and passed.
6 volvo 240's, 4 x 2.0ltr, 1 x 2.3ltr and 1 x 3.6ltr
4 volvo 740's all 2.3ltr
2 volvo 940's 1 x 2.0ltr injection manual and 1 x 2.3 carb'd engine automatic
1 volvo 850 se estate 2.0ltr manual
1 1961 bedford dormobile (martin walters conversion) camper van (had the option of starting with a starting handle instead of via dynamo)
more mini's than i can remember ranging from 1960's upto 1989
to many fords from capri's, escorts, sierras and tansits from 1960's upto 1994
to many to list, i think the only two types we've never had are rover and skoda or anything that is high end, all the cars we've had have been secondhand never owned a new car (you can't work on them)
so if anyone has an old banger and needs any help regarding maintenance, give me a shout i might be able to help
