Bluebottle 16 May 2002, 22:38 Hmmm, where to start?
All of the above?- no, too easy.
As far as ordinary road cars go, I've become quite fond of mk1 and 2 Granadas and assorted other old Fords but I also have a soft spot for Triumph sports cars as well as Dolomites. Also, old (Series 1 and 2) Landrovers, having had a brief fling with a 1965 series 2A. Then there's the classic kits from Rochdale, Fairthorp etc as well as the wierd creations from the 70's which never quite made it.
1965 Ford Lotus Cortina MK1. Guess the colour.......
