My mum and step-dad had a Lancia Delta in a really awful brown colour but inside it was a light cream and felt really posh.

My teenage years were spent being taxi’d about by my mum in a Ford Sierra Ghia - she’d have the Eurythmics Revenge album playing constantly “Thorn in my side” gives me flashbacks!

It had a boot that you could open up and my many siblings could sit in. Like a goldeny kind of colour? I loved it, I remember late night drives during December to see the Christmas lights in London. It was a beast of a car and lasted quite a few years, with a lot of miles being covered.

A blue lada, with black plastic seats, with grandma's floral house cushions in the back. Windows always wet and steamed up inside in the winter. Of course my grandad kept a special cloth for the windows in the dashboard. No seat belts in the back. I use to lay down across the back seats when they drove me around town I was so worried my school mates would see me in it. 1980s motoring was awesome. I'd love to have another ride in it. I can still smell the inside when I think about it

S reg I believe was 1977, but it's trickier working from the grandparents. At a guess around 40?

The bizarre thing about a maxi was you could take the back seats up to reveal a large storage area. My old man always said it would be a great place to hide a body

My parents didn't have a car when I was growing up, but I bought a 1947 Austin 10 for £25 when I was 18

Now I always laugh at threads like this where period items get mentioned because, when I see some of the cars listed, especially by guys, then I look at your profiles and see the age that you are claiming to be, it leads me to come to the conclusion that your parents were either driving you round in classic collectors items, or you are lying about your ages! I believe that it's what the psychologists call a Freudian slip. I wouldn't mind having a 1977 Daimler Sovereign / XJ6 coupe in my collection like my dad used to have, but finding a nice one isn't so easy, as so few were made, and they are prone to rust.

It won't let me say it was a ford MK1 but the model is apparently a banned word here because it relates to a profession we can't discuss

"Off white VW Beetle "

Snap! My mum had one, the engine sound was so loud and so specific we kids would recognise it as soon as she turned the block corner and would run to the garden to greet her. She had it from the 70s and then passed it on to my sis when she started driving in the 90s! Was a rough but very sweet and reliable car.

Morris 8 van which came in brown 'primer' paint colour.

Later, my dad took it to a coach work company and had some side windows put in. He didn't think to get wood put on the outside to make it into a shooting brake!

Oh wow, have they blocked the word for a full-service sex worker that was also a model of Ford? That's amazing news. It'll cut right down on the number of wannabe comedians repeatedly making the world's tiredest, shittest pun whenever either subject comes up for discussion.

It took me a bit of time to work out what Ford model could possibly be a banned word on here. I was more think along the lines of the Ford Probe whose name was considered controversial at the time of launch because to some societies they might as well have called it the Ford Dick.
