So what was your Dad's car?

Mine had a P6 Rover 3500

Love to drive one, was such a comfortable car, aside from getting stuck to the leather seats in the summer and then being freezing in the winter! Was not allowed to eat drink or breathe in that car

Went all over the UK on holidays towing a caravan

Great memories

I remember dad getting his first company car in 1978, a pastel yellow Vauxhall Cavalier with a beige interior

Before that I remember an Austin 1100, an Austin Vanden Plas and a white mk1 Vauxhall Viva

Ford sierra rs500.

He bought it new i still have the car nearing the end of its restoration, the noises that car made & the smell of it bring back so so many memories

2002 Peugeot 406 but I was rarely in it as he always drove a red Mazda van that he used for cash and carry for our shop. I remember being so embarrassed rocking up to school in that

My dad's not really into his cars. He's currently got a donkey of a hyundai (that I'm borrowing as mine is broken lol).

The only car I can ever relate to him being excited about is a Ford capri when he was just a lad in the east end of London. I never knew it as it was before I was a twinkle but he does talk of it fondly.

My maternal grandad loved a jaguar.

Growing up in Southern Africa our cars tended to be a little older, we had a 1961 Chevrolet Impala and a 1964 Morris Oxford estate still going strong in the 1980’s

He changed his frequently. I remember a red Mazda 323 with pop up headlights and a powder blue Alfa Romeo 146 (I think).

Neither of my parents drove.

It was either walking or the toddler seat on the bike of the pushbike.

My dad had quite a few different cars through the years, everything from a brown cortina estate with a beige vinyl roof through to a rare as rocking horse poop gold Lancia Gamma.

My favorite memory though was on holiday in Scotland and him doing doughnuts in a black Ford Consul on a rainy day for something to do as everywhere was shut and you couldnt go anywhere because of the weather

I think they handed those out to Dad's as standard. My Dad loved his

An awful red Metro in the late 80s. He didn't learn to drive until his 40s. My stepdad had a very eclectic mix of cars including a Rover SD1 and a Fiat 126!

Hillman super minx, red with cream leather interior.

He put a hunter 2.5l engine with twin webber carbs.

This was in late 70s, was a real head turner at the time.

It got stolen and torched and he never got a decent car again, just drove old bangers.

Dad's first car was an Austin 1100, it being a Company Car. Two years later, on leaving that job, he needed transport so we had a Moskvich, the Russian Fiat styled saloon. We had the 2nd one bought in Scotland.

‘64 Chevy Impala that my Dad bought with his combat pay from Vietnam. It went from Cincinnati to Hawaii and back. I still have the car, but my Dad passed some years ago. It is original, including my melted crayons on the back window deck.... I would rather have my Dad, we went for a tire melt on a Saturday, and he passed on the Monday smiling about burning rubber in front of the State Trooper..
