DD5000 - Vauxhall Victor 101 bought new in the UK and imported to NZ
DD5175 - Vauxhall VX 4/90. The old man spent hours fiddling with the twin carbs getting it tuned how he liked....
HF5384 - Holden HQ202 Kingswood - His pride and joy. Rare bucket seat model with floor mounted auto shifter (usually bench seats and column change).

Can't remember the rest as they were all a bit bland.

A780 AAK - Honda Accord 1.6
D656 HEA - Vauxhall Nova 2 Door Saloon 1.0
G320 ONE - Mercedes 230E Auto in White. Lovely.
J744 WWG - Vauxhall Astra 1.6 SX. I loved this in the showroom and Dad duly obliged and bought it home. Stayed for 12 months till it got stolen.
K54 FKW - Mitsubishi Galant
M944 UHL - Toyota Previa
R144 VHE - Mitsubishi Carisma Sport Ed, had until 155k miles and scrappage scheme came in.
P940 LLY - Mercedes C180 Elegance. Slowest car ever.
YN03 NRZ - BMW 330d M Sport Audo. Another one I fell in love with at the showroom. Dad got it and got me insured. Happy Days until someone stole that too.
BK59 VWF - Passat Estate for Mum. Pretty boring and sold after 3 years for a 3k loss. Not bad for a brand new purchase.
YR62 OUY - Audi A5 Sportback. Just sold this. Really not as nice as it looks, although not a bad car by any means.
BV14 UYZ - Dads current ride. Audi Q3 S Line Auto. Surprisingly good car.

I think. smile
did you live in Loncilnshire by any chance. Maybe the Fens? Apart from the car with the Hull number they are all numbers from my childhood when we visited family in the Stanfird area and where I briefly lived.

Parents didn't drive so the first family car was a brother's and it was a late 40s Ford Prefect in black (naturally) bought in the mid-60s with reg XPC21.

My mum got my dad a private plate after that so the game got a lot easier.
Sadly I can also remember every single one of the 17 cars I have owned too.

I really should get out more.

I remember 8 of them from between 1967 when I was 4 and 1980 when I left home. I'm not posting any of them on here though as I find them very useful for forming the basis of passwords .
