My 1981 TR7 Drophead, bought it off my dads mate when i was 16 & he had it from new, i always wanted one being a 1970's kid & my dad
lent me the money to buy it.
I drove it everywhere in all weathers,mostly with the top down :-) had it for about 10 years but ended up needing so much welding doing that i had to
sell it as i had a family and a new mortgage :-(
Most people hated them but i loved it, would buy another one tomorrow if i had time to keep on top of the rot
(with all the other old crap i own !)
Here she is at Alexander Palace classic car show in the early 90's

Mk 2 escort 1.6 in purple with a black vinyl roof !!, followed by a 1275gt mini..... loved that car, after the escort it cornered like it was on
rails. got a capri fetish after that, first a 2.0 ghia, then a 3.0s then a 4speed 2.8i, must have had all of them by the time i was 20, my dad was a
car dealer and insurance was no problem in those days !!

e531djn, a ford sierra saloon. I loved it! Drove it loads to uni, ended up bending it a touch, backwards into a tree on soldiers field 
Should really have taken a test before setting out, i suppose 
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

lid, green passenger door and powder blue with dark blue RS stripes driver's door - and everyone thought VW were off the wall with the
"Harlequin" . Rostyles, fishnet Recaros, half cage, single box big bore manifold, twin 40's etc

Black Mini 1275gt for me, in 1989... Added 1.75 single SU on decent manifold and tubular manifold with RC40 system.
Went quite well until i oversteered into a massive fence post. Did rebuild it though.
