No, but did find this parked up in a field in Swinbrook near burford a few years back....

1959 Volvo Sugga as used by the Finnish army to patrol the border with Russia.



And this beautiful 1955 drophead Bristol....

My sons bought me vouchers for https://drivedadscar.com/ and I've booked this weekend for 3 cars, including a Hillman Imp which was my first ever car.
My father had a Wolseley 16/60 in rose taupe & sandy beige BHG49B then a 6/110 in the same two tone colours BJP413D.
If only I could remember website passwords as easily as car registration numbers from 50 years ago...

Ford Zephyr, Ford Cortina, Fiat 600, Ford Corsair, Vauxhall Cresta all from that era and more or less in that order and all second hand. Never heard of a Ford Zephyr 4. Mine was a Zephyr with 6 cylinders. The 4 cylinder was known as the Ford consul. By the way the Ford Capri was only produced from 1968 so the date on the list is wrong.

The only reason I bought the Fiat was to be able to get extra fuel coupons for the Ford Galaxy I drove which had a whacking great V8 in it. I was only allowed 4 gallons a month, but the Fiat managed to get me another 2 gallons. The Fiat was not really roadworthy by todays standards as very poor brakes etc. I think I only drove it once!

In those days the cars had real colour schemes. Unlike today where upholstery is mainly either grey or black and generally no choice even on brand new cars.
