My Old Cars

Thought i would have a giggle. Here are some of the cars i had. Some a long time ago, and some not that long ago.

I am a bit slimmer here, on the Datsun.

A bit hairy above the lip one this one,

When i had two.

I nearly killed myself in this. Great in a straight line, pants on the bends.

I have plenty more. Watch this space.

Who else has old photos???????????

my uncle had one of the JPS Esprits also - although his was awesome in the bends - spent a good bit of time at the factory though!

I love that Black esprit

Did you ever come over to my place when I was selling my S3 Turbo Esprit about 7 years ago? I do remember someone coming over in a black Esprit with the gold trimming.

Great pics, but after a start like that I'm too embarrassed to post mine

(Unless there are any Morris Marina fans here?)

Some great ones above - love the Esprit

Most of my really old stuff isn't in digital format and I'm not sure where in the computer to stuff my 7x5" Kodaks but I've posted the more recent nice stuff in Daves KH2003 thread with my black CateringVan

I had to sell the number plate. The Police would not leave me alone, and even turned up at my door, telling me if they caught me on the road with it they would have taken further action. I was lucky enough to have got that number with the Excel, and actually sold the number for more than i paid for the car. I last saw it on a Lotus Carlton at a Donnington show a few years ago. The wife was delighted, as she got a new bathroom out of it.
