m williamson Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Mine was a Ford Anglia 209 CWJ , strange I can remember that because I've had the car I drive now for over three years and often have trouble remembering the registration. 🙄 I'm not that bothered about cars but have driven some nice ones over the years for business reasons. Ran my own business for the last sixteen years of my working life and as it grew I got nicer cars. The only ones I had any particular affection for were Saabs, I had a Saab 95 for a number of years, I kept it after selling the business, then I bought a Saab 93. They were the first automatics I'd driven and I wouldn't go back to manual again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
