    I started a new job in 1980 and got a new Marina… still remember smell of interior.

    I think the model became the Ital soon after

    Was working in Covent Garden when I picked it up. Had passed my test three years before and never driven since. Had to get home via Trafalgar Square and Hyde Park Corner. From learner driver to expert and nervous wreck in under 2 hours.

    L reg Ford Escort (mk5), 3 door. Red. L451 MUB.

    It was awful. Had it for just over a year. Blew up just past Clumber Park (head gasket and summat else) one Thursday when I was driving to Nottingham for uni (did one day a week at Nottingham Trent as part of a job).

    Got my mum to come with the V5 and let the recovery truck just keep it! I’d already got a brand new car on order - a black corsa (I was only 19…) - and I’d not part ex’d the car as I thought I’d get more for scrapping it than they offered, ended up with nothing but an £80 rescue bill.

    Mark 2 Escort estate.....officially Terracotta, but reality was reddy brown which conveniently camouflaged the rust :)

    Drove it back from Bournemouth away in 89 with no brakes.....blew the servo on the way down when a dog ran from a field on a country lane....I was doing 80 at the time ;)

    Unfortunately, mine fell ill on the A66 heading to Scotland in 2001 and then died on the return journey on the M74 outside Lesmahagow.
