Well Mark - Stand by for some more.....(not too much to be
jealous of though)

1962  Ford Anglia 1200 cc Super (a go-faster car  10.5
compression gas flowed head
      Rally cam and 1340 carburettor it would do 90mph !!)
1961  Mini van 850 cc (use when the Anglia broke)
Many   Ford Anglias and Cortinas for spares 
Jaguar 2.4  (owned for ten minutes- but made a profit)
Ford Executive  (scrapper - wanted the V6 engine)
1962 Ford Classic  - Great car with a huge boot - originally
1300cc (not 1340 as it should have been thank goodness) 
later 1500GT
1954 Triumph TR2   (first time)
1963 Ford Cortina Mk 1 1200 cc (later had the 1500GT engine) 
Humber Hawk (for dismantling)
195? Ford Prefect (sold without driving for a small profit)
1962 Lotus Elan  - Could blow anything locally (except
E-Types) off the road !
Wolseley  1500  - used for 1 week whilst I rebuilt the Elan
Engine
Wolseley 1800  (Land Crab) Horrible gears - I actually
swapped it for the Elan
(woman pressure)
MGB - owned for 2 weeks - hated it !!
Ford Cortina Mk 2  1500 GT (yes that engine again)
Ford Cortina Mk 2  1300 (1500 GT wouldn't fit)
1978 Vauxhall Cavalier mk 1 1600 cc
Morris Marina  1300 cc (the old tale - for use whilst fixing
the Cavalier)
Land Rover 88 Mk 2A  petrol (don't ask me why !)
1984 Vauxhall Cavalier mk 2 1600 cc
