The main cars I remember, the only time I didn’t have a convertible car were for the first 3 years or so of driving. when I also had my early motorbikes. In some form of basic chronological order. but not 100% quite a few cars overlap ownership but the most I personally had at any one time was 3 cars the VW Golf diesel, Mercedes E220 Sportline Cabriolet and the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet ( also 3 Harleys keeping them company).
So from 1971 onwards:-
Morris Minor
Honda S800
Vauxhall Viva GT
MG Midgets (x5)
Ford Cortina 2000E
Vauxhall Astra GTE
*Morris Marina (x2)
*VW Passat Estate diesel
VW Scirocco Storm
Triumph TR7 convertible (x2)
Truimph TR7 V8 convertible
Lotus Esprit
Lotus Eclat
MG Metro Turbo
Morgan 4/4 2 seater CVH
Morgan 4/4 4 seater Kent
BMW 325i convertible
*Ford Sierra XR4x4
*Lotus Carlton
*Ford Granada (x2)
*Toyota Camry diesel
*Ford Sierra Diesel (prototype car with new 5 speed box, I was test driving for Ford for six months before introduction , as I was highest mileage driver in company (not Ford).
*Audi 80 diesel (x2)
Mercedes 107 420SL
Mercedes C220 diesel
Mercedes 129 320SL
Mercedes 124 220CE coupe (x2)
Mercedes 124 Cabriolet 220 CE sportline (x2)
Mercedes 124 Cabriolet 320CE sportline (x3)
Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet (930)
VW Golf (diesel)
Peugeot 106GTI (x2)
Mercedes CLK Convertible (now wife’s car)
Morgan 4/4 70th Anniversary
Morgan 4/4 Roadster 4 seater
Many of the boring cars eg Morris Marina were *company cars. There are a few cars I wished I still had the Porsche 930, Lotus Carlton, the 106GTI's were a hoot and the Mercedes 124 Cabriolets were sublime with fabulous build quality.
