Question Author
Or have you ever owned one of these endangered species, and if you have what did you think of it ?.
Extinction please: the Austin Allegro, The Austin Princess, The OLD Mini Metro, the ("jam sandwich") Rover, the OLD Skoda (Estelle etc).
Isn't there a website called "how many are left" that lists how many are still on the road?
I had an Ambassador and a Princess. Quite luxurious for their day but I had to repair the suspension on them both.
Mr Nungate owned 3 Vauxhall Viva's in his time. One before he met me and 2 after, then he progressed to a couple of cavaliers (always in yukky colours as I recall! - I wasn't there!) Then he went all German and had 3 BMW's that last of which "died" last year, we now have a Vectra (vack to Vauxhalls again) which I rather like and Queenie can't seem to drive...
...and now
Please don't extinctify:
The Citroen 2CV
The Citroen CX
All of the old Lamborghinis particularly the Espada.
The old Lotus Europa, Elan and Elan sprint.
The 'real' (ie. not BMW) Mini
At least back then, you could tell the difference between the makes of cars.
Every car looks the same these days.

Well out of that lot on the link I have owned three of them, a Ford Sierra it was a White 3 door Cosworth RS 500, bloody quick car, two Ford Cortina Mk 2's both of them 1600E's and a Rover SDI 3500 V8.
we had an Avenger (I think it was a Chrystler) and it was fine. First automatic I owned.
Indeed. I love the old Citroens, they all looked like something from outer space.
Whoa... there's only 310 Rover SD1s left... I've owned two of those and would love another one (vitesse with the sport pack please)

(also, isn't the triumph acclaim and the first rover 200 basically the same car)
Question Author
