My Dad tended to keep cars for a long time.
My memories were:
An MG Magnette ZB (JFB 461)
A Rover 2000 TC (NUF 410G)
A Volvo 144 (OAE 118M)
Strange that I remember all the registrations!
We also had a Triumph Herald 12/50 which my Sister and I learnt to drive in (CFB 366C)
He enjoyed looking after them, but left the oily bits to the garage.
