Cars of your childhood!

Dad-
Gold Escort Mk2 3dr, sold because of the 3drs and and no seatbelts in the back when i was about 3. Earliest memory of being in car when my dad took me out in it when it snowed.
Red Mk2 Cavalier Saloon 1.6, replaced Escort, I think he blew it up more then once.
Astra Belmont 1.3, i think probably a low point in his motoring career, beige interior and the only car that made me travel sick sitting in the back. Brakes got smokey on a holiday in the lake district
Peugeot 405 2.0 SRI, My favourite car he has had, and i think where my odd attraction to Peugeot's started.
Mum-
Mk1 Fiesta Popular Plus, 4 speed, red, was a bit of a dog but stayed in the family for a few years after she replaced it i believe
Mk2 Fiesta Popular Plus, 4 speed, red, she had this from the mid nineties until 2004, and only did about 20k in it during that time, gave it to me as my first car then. Lived in the garage and was in great nick.

I was very lucky as a kid. After a couple of Beetles, Dad had two lovely TR6s both in magenta, a yellow Lotus 7 which I had to be wedged in the back of. After that was one of these:
followed by a 1977 911 which then made way for one of these:
I still remember the excitement of being picked up from school in it.
