I have stuck to the 2 seaters:

An Exige, 2 Elises and a Megablade





2 Lotus Esprits



A bit of a left-field thinking led to an MG Midget


3 Fiat X1/9s




2 Ferraris

[Mike Scib]

Just take up a whole page Mike.

Thought this might be interesting as there's not many left now.

My one and only kit car which was built with no expense spared.

Kougar Sports (3.8S, hi-comp Jag) bought/built in '84. The engine was built new in Coventry as a favour. Unfortunately it lifted a cam follower sleeve on my way to France just after it was run in and had to be rebuilt in London on-route.

But It was a wonderful car, especially through tunnels, and I kept it for 10 years.

Take care,

Frank

That engine is a thing of beauty.

[Matelotman]

I've had loads of different cars but these are the not so obvious shopping trolleys or family buses


Bravo HGT - loved this car (except the depreciation ) 5cyl 20v sounded sweet.



Scratched an itch with this one - 17mpg stung a bit



My first restoration project



What my current (last 5 years-not touched for 2 years) project should look like when finished



Cooper was ok but didn't live up to expectations



My sorely missed B&C 140........... why did I sell it?



My current commuter - 70mpg with £35pa road tax, almost free motoring

I recognise that harled wall................

Twas Hobson's choice, keep your Elise or keep your job.

........... and licence. Suppose, but I do miss the SE runs and meets. I think N3's paint is still on the wall although the guttering pipe has been replaced

[Mr Momo]

A few Fiats and Alfas

Jim - those X1/9s - were they really that bad (I so wanted one when I was 10 )

I'll need to dig out some of mine

[Peter]

Elan SE Turbo



Impreza STi Type R

Elan, great for transporting exhausts..Impreza, never seen a car that needed so many gear changes so quickly!!!

[renmure]

Jim - those X1/9s - were they really that bad (I so wanted one when I was 10 )

I don't think they were that bad, just not that good.
I used to think they were so cool. They always kept breaking down but usually started again after a couple of days no matter what was wrong with them. The little green X1/9 Lido was a 1.3 litre engined car but had no real oomph. Mind you, I was only 19 when I had it so perhaps it was just as well
I think they are almost collectable now.

Impreza STi Type R





Impreza, never seen a car that needed so many gear changes so quickly!!!

Forgot about that!

It was short geared, but I didn't have a clue how to drive back then...(Not that I'm much better now... )

You deserve a bravery award for sitting in the car with me!

My 127 (above) had X1/9 wheels fitted - Think it had the same engine (1301cc - 75bhp), too?

A mate had a Gran Finale - Nice car, but the brakes were always binding on...Rust killed it in the end...

A few had Mk1 Uno Turbo engines transplanted - With a bleed valve ramping up the boost, they were good for 130-140 bhp+...Made for a rapid X1/9!
