My first car was a 1600E cortina on L plates when I was about 19. I thought £90 for insurance was extortionate.

I remember the Dolomite spent alot of time on the drive with the bonnet up and Dad fiddling with twin Carb setup on it. It had an 8 Track in the dash and an over drive switch on top of the gear lever. For some reason I loved that car. I'd love to own it now.

Dad had a collection of vans and small Sherpa based Tipper truck, the one I remember really was his Bedford CF
