Peaked back in 1990, with 8 cars:

Opel Monza GS/E
Triumph Vitesse 2litre Mk2 convertible
Triumph Herald 13/60 saloon
Triumph Herald 13/60 estate
Triumph Herald 1200 Mk1 Coupe
Mini 1000
Rover 827 Sterling, to tow:
Mini Miglia race car

Have reined the fleet down to 4 cars for different jobs now.
My unrepentant fellow car addict friend however, has done the opposite, and is well into the 20's today.

In 2014 at one point I had;

2012 Fiesta Metal
2002 MINI One
1999 Ford Puma
1975 Land Rover Series III

I'm currently down to three, I also had an MGF but sold that a couple of days before I got the MINI, so was almost five.

Nothing exciting, but it was strange to think when they were all parked together that they were all mine, road legal and ready to drive.

Ah, yes. I see. A Jaguar tickled up by Lynx and racing in Leyland colours came to mind. It's okay, I've been wrong before.

Thanks.

Just 3 for me, or 4 if you count the works van.
It was the very late 80's & the 3 were an 850cc Mini, a 2.8 Special Capri with a 230bhp Turbo Technics conversion, & a genuine RS2000 X-Pack converted to full rally spec by Autocross.
Not many but a hell of a lot of fun!

Currently this lot


Porsche 993 Turbo
M3 CSL
E30 M3
E12 M535i
E30 320is
325ti

The ridiculousness of which has been brought home recently by our four month old little girl which means I don't have time to sit down let alone drive the cars ! rotate
The first four are better than money in the bank though. smile Time for an E34 M5 estate.
So it would seem lately, my thoughts exactly on the E34....great minds and all that... I very nearly bagged one last year but had not long bought the 320is and the timing was all wrong which is a shame since they don't come up very often.

Usually 4 including a daily driver or two. This was a high point a few years ago though (daily driver not shown): street versions of Group B, Group A and WRC models.

Only two; a 2004 Seat Leon FR TDI and a 1993 BMW 325i Coupe.

For a few months only, as a transitional arrangement unfortunately as I drive less than 7000 miles a year, so can't justify the cost of running two cars.

If I could find a cheaper way to insure and tax 2 cars I'd love an '80s or '90s hot hatch for fun...
