Speed, you should be disqualified for having owned a Picasso, you're not Ronnie Pickering are you? I am sorry, lots of kids an missus pressure, the only good bit was I could fit a fizzy in the back for the odd show!

Graham a friend of mine had a Volvo Wentworth beautiful running car had 200 k on the clock nothing went wrong.
But guess what under the scrappage scheme he bought a new Volvo!
Only kept it for 6 months .
He really regrets letting the 740 go to scrap. Sadly, there were some really nice, decent, cars that went on that scrappage scheme... Here's one that got away G. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C829396and another - always fancied one of these. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C828067

I ran out of fingers and toes when it got to the company car era.
Those of "character" are on that thread.

I may have missed one or two as this list starts in '66.
