I like cars especially vintage ones. These are some for guessing the manufacturer's names and model

This is open to forum just fun so no prizes no pressure 😉 

Don't know many no problem guess the one you think you know.

Maybe you owned one maybe you borrowed one and you have a short story about it.

I learned to drive in a morris mini.  What a great little car.   

Boot like a handbag, sliding windows 😅

No radio, no carpet pull down cord to open door.

Everybody loved them.

Very long Gear stick that wobbled into Every gear.  Turn up tin roof gutters.

Loved that car.  

Rusted in about 2 weeks from new 😬

Loved that 🚗

U - Mini - I learned to drive in one, and passed my test in it too. Scratch your backside on the cats' eyes 😆

A - Austin 35, last time I visited my Dad, he was driving one he had procured from somewhere, probably long sold on by now.

T - Ford Anglia.

 

Surprised not to see one of these:

Nah, in the front

A posh mini 😂

@TallTrees I can name every one of those cars and had a fair few myself

I served my apprenticeship as a motor mechanic in the 60's and during my 25 years 'on the tools' I can honestly say I have worked on or taken apart and rebuilt all of them

My first car was a 1955 Ford Popular followed by a 1959 Mini

I've also had the misfortune to have worked on and driven these :-

@pgn Our work parts van was an Imp Van which superseded a Hillman Minx Van

Yes it was a Rootes dealership....
