My dad had some good bad and ugly cars during the 60' and 70's. How can I forget the suspension collapsing on his Vauxhall Victor as he turned into our road. All my friends thought it was hilarious.
Favourites? Sunbeam Rapier, Ford Zodiac Executive, Triumph Heralds, Cortina 2.0 GXL to be honest too many to mention I'm just grateful to have grown up in a time when the everyday man had a choice of fine cars.
