Brief history of some of the retromobiles (aka old and cheap) that I have owned and loved (or hated).
Renault 4 - 1st car and passed my test in it, eventually the bottom fell out of it (literally) and 4 of us ended up travelling Fred Flinstone style.
Moggy 1000 - loverly car, did my first engine swap on it.
Toyota Starlet - as students 5 of us all chipped in a tenner each to buy it then ran it for a year.
Toyota Carina estate - inherited from Dad, then crashed
MkII Escort esate - light blue
Viva HC - it was yellow
Mini City - sold to pay for a divorce.
Skoda estelle - I was going to trike it until it failed its MOT on the rear subframe
Mini - called Buttercup, sold to a young lad who wanted to do it up, if MOO 309V is still about let me know
Fiat Panda - I hate Fiat brakes
Lada - Bought it, drove it home, drove it staight to scrapyard still with MOT. I promise never to do it again.
Mini - Cooper look- a-like with a 1300 Metro engine, turned out it was actually a silver Mini25 full of rust.
Skoda Estelle - well, I already had a haynes book.
Astra - !
2CV trike - yep, I bought the thing from SOC
MkI Fiesta - see above
Renault Savannah - 7 seater ex-taxi, cam belt finally went at 250k miles.
Fiat Uno - I still hate Fiat brakes
Volvo 740 saloon - had to go as it drank more than me
Mini Clubman estate - called Delilah, if anybody sees her I want 'a word' with the thieving git who nicked her
Fiat cinqucento - with italian job stripe down the middle Did I mention about Fiat brakes?
MkII polo coupe S - qwerty scrapped it, SOC fixed it, I bought it, I scrapped it.
Volvo 740 saloon - Scotswood Sven, big, comfy, and RWD.

Mines a short list, with the cars only moving in one direction, so far. (i.e. into my posession).
In order of acquisition:
1969 Hillman Imp Californian. Rusty restoration project, given to me by my Great Uncle's estate executor when he left us. Obtained in 2003, when I was 16. Will be restored when the other Imp, the Rover and the Mondeo are out of the queue.
1976 Hillman Imp Caledonian. Bought in 2004, when I was 17. Not quite so rusty daily driver. Bought by my Dad for him to run around in and for me to learn to drive in. My Dad then gave it to me. Current plans include a sport-spec engine, new wings and new paint.
1980 Rover V8-S. Very solid, but engine-less, when saved from scrapyard for £180 in 2007. Will be fixed and sold (it has an auto box, and I really don't like them).
1995 Ford Mondeo 1.8 Estate. Bought from ebay in 2008 for a summer road trip. Road trip didn't happen. Cost me lots of money on repairs (clutch was the big one). Very practical, economical, quick (compared to the Imp anyway) but oh so very boring. Needs to be sold soon.
I'm currently feeling the love for MX5s, Lotus 7 replicas, Series Land Rovers and the Pug 205XS.
My Dad has a Scimitar GTE project, a Rover SD1 Vitesse project (which I sort of have my eye on) and a working MGB.

well here's my list, not in exact order of ownership though. H reg 1300 metro: the first car I ever drove on the road bought for £50 from a workmate and tooled around in until its mot expired, was a proper shed if you lifted the front carpets you could see the road 85? C reg mk2 fiesta 950: povo spec one, didn't even have a heated rear screen had only done 50k miles but was pretty ropey, (had newspaper and filler wings) I bought it of a mate who blew the engine up, was going fix and bought another car for the engine, ended up running that instead. still have some parts from this car kicking around. 87 E reg mk2 fiesta 1100: bit of a shed bought for the engine, instead I patched it up and ran it for a year or so, possibly one of the most fun cars I ever owned cause I didn't have to worry about it getting damaged, was one of those duct tape and tie wrap cars and was painted with rattlecans, first car I ever did an engine swap on too ;D F reg mk2 fiesta 1100: had this for about a month then sold it to my sister who crashed it , was better than my own one. F reg xr2: was rotten as a pear, put all the xr2 bits on the E reg 1100 E reg xr2 (yes I had a bit of a thing for Mk2 fiestas, this was when you could pick up a half decent one for £50 and there were loads of them still around ) 90 H reg 1.2 nova: replaced the fiesta. Really tidy car, I got from my cousin as it had a blown head gasket, fixed it and ran it for about 2 years when it was replaced with a saxo 97 R reg saxo diesel: bought as a damaged reparable, fixed it fitted a vts interior, brakes and suspension and ran it until I got my golf, another car I wish id kept. H reg mk4 escort 1300 96 P reg Lada Niva- winter/tow car for two years, I loved this thing wish i'd kept it now A? reg Lada Niva- bought as a parts car for the other one, It had sat in a forest for about 15 years and as a result it had holes in it you could walk through (tou could get in it without opening the doors, through where the sill should be E reg 1.6 golf: got it for free! it had sat idle for 6 months and had 300k miles on the clock, I spent about £50 on it to pass a MOT and sold it for £200, probably the only car I've ever made a decent profit on ?? Series three 109 V8 Landrover 89 Bedford kbd : bought off ebay while drunk 96 Jeep cherokee: another "bargin" piece of junk (knackerd engine etc) sold the wheels of it and dealt the rest in when the price of scrap was high. 71 1200 beetle my first car , still got it but its in a bad way 71 1200 bug (another one) bad ebay purchase, looked good on top (had leather seats etc) but was bodged to hell, kept the wheels and sold the rest to some guy in England, its back on the road now apparently. 73 1303s beetle, bought as a project but turned out to be rotten, front quarters were £££ at the time so it got sold to somebody who wanted the box ect for a bus, shame as the floorpan was mint 67 1300 beetle, Tidy thing had a bernard newbury interior etc, did need work though and I would have ended up doing a complete rebuild so I sold it last year as I decided I'd be as well spending the money on my first bug and get it exactly the way I want it. 70 1500 beetle my current summer daily. 90 audi 90 bought to replace my golf, didn't really like it though so sold it 2 months later for about what I paid for it. 88 golf gti my current daily bought damaged for £200 about four years ago have probably spent over £3000 on it so far and it still looks a bit scruffy Think that's everthing Ive had but I suspect I've missed at least one.
