First car was a black 1986 Escort XR3i...it was 3 years old when I bought it from a car auction in Manchester and only had 16,000 miles on clock which is good for mileage IMO. The car itself had only one owner before I bought it and was owned by a lady who took good care of it...the car I own now is a Ford Focus 1.6 LX 5 door saloon and is 8 years old and still in very mint condition.
My first car was a mini.. my last is a Ford C max.. but my top 3 would have to be my Ford RS 2000 1979,then a Ford RS 1800 1977, and last my stunning 3 series BMW german Alpina 1988.
