Discussion
Some years ago I remember a very interesting discussion in a Magazine (Autocar?) about pairing of cars. Now that we can all afford at least one or two, or more, toys.
It would be interesting to know what other toy cars A110 owners own? Mine is a Morgan +4 (ARP4 version) - chalk and cheese!

Some great replies and some very interesting cars, thanks for joining the topic.
I used to have Caterham Sevens for the last 40 years, no not the same one, but a dozen or so kits which I built and some s/h cars too. As far as getting them past my OH, I found it very handy that they very rarely depreciated, and in fact, if I built one and sold it 18 months later, I could actually make a small profit, very handy when trying to make a convincing argument to SWMBO. The reason I am now in a Mog is that I can no longer heft myself out of the dam thing, although obviously gravity does all the work on the way in. The other aspect about Seven ownership was that my wife really did not enjoy coming out in it with me, but loves the Mog - go figure.

I was talking to a car salesman a while ago, about people with more than one toy car in their stable and he commented that, in reality, you end up just driving your favourite one, and the others just languish in the garage.
Taking this to heart, although I only have 2 toy cars, I have overcome this by rarely having them both taxed at the same time, especially the A110, given that the annual road tax is nearly £600. This way, whenever I drive one or the other, it is always an occasion and enjoyable to the full, without the familiarity of regular use.
