Thread: The most unusual car you've ever owned...

One the small end of the scale.
A 1946 corgi folding motor scooter.
next
An Enfield electric car( ex victorian electricity commission) and sold on to Giltraps Museum.
The Enfield was interesting as it was alloy skin with tube steel chassis and speed control was via compound electric motor and voltage switching.
It had a household 240 volt meter near the rear seat to tell how much or little it was costing to run.
larger side of things the current.
Stalwart amphibian is a odd one.

The Fiat X19 is also known as the Bertone

Lefthooker 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback and a 1973 Mercedes 220 for me..

Fiat x1/9 or Bertone .
It is currently sitting on the drive with no gearbox. Engineer I know has said he can salvage the case and diff but the rest is not reusable.
Otherwise my first car was an austin 1800 mkII

Interestingly lot of people here were into European cars makes sense that LR is a progression of this as we want to see and do more around Australia. My most unusual car would have been an Alfa Sprint. Not really unusual but really easy to work on and handled exceptionally well. This is similar to the one I had.

Nice!
I love these old Triumphs, my dad had about 3 of them over the years in the 70s and 80s when I was a kid. I mainly remember the mark2 versions with the front end similar to the Stag.

Apart from the S3 Lightweight I learnt to drive in (which I've still got), the most memorable other car I had was a 1986 Austin Metro 1.0L!
Not exactly unusual in the UK in the 80's but a bit, well, ....rubbish!
