Datsun 1200 hatchback, 1969 model Bought cheap second-hand in 1981 as a second car after we returned from living in the USA. Cute, easy to drive and virtually indestructible. Later gave it to my mum |

Ford Galaxie, 2-door, 7ltr, 1970 model Bought when we arrived in the USA as a cheap second car. A fun 'tank' with so much torque it could climb a mountain or a snow bank (as it often did). Bought for $300 and sold for $300 2 years later. |

Ford Ltd 5ltr, 1978 model Bought after arriving in the USA as our main car. Ex Avis rental. Comfortable but 'floaty' on the freeway; the bonnet used to lift and sway like a boat. A typical big American car of the time. Very reliable despite its Avis heritage. |

Rover 2200 TC, 1973 model My company car when we lived in the UK in the 1970s. Luxurious interior, sophisticated suspension, great motorway car. I set a few London to Sheffield records in this car |

Alfa Romeo Alfetta 1.8ltr, 1975 model Bought new when we moved to South Africa in 1974. Very fast but also very badly assembled; lots of stuff just fell off. Great engine, annoying gearbox (3rd to 2nd change). Regularly did 220 kph on the way to work in Pretoria |
