My cars, with approximate year of purchase:

'71 Citroen GS estate  -- '78
'75 Alfa Romeo Alfasud -- '79  Sold to a policeman
'79 Alfa Romeo Alfasud -- '81  Wrecked when an idiot pulled out in front of 
me.
First 3 cars all flat-4 engines!
?? Mini                -- ~ '81  Sold
'75 Renault 5          -- ~'82   Sold for what we paid, some 3-4 years 
later. No major repairs during that time. Cheapest car ever owned!
'84 MG Metro           -- '84 Sold with the intent of buying MGB, did not 
find one so bought Fiat Panda instead.
'87 Citroen BX estate  -- '87  Sold when moved UK -> Texas
'83 Fiat Panda         -- '89  Sold when moved UK -> Texas
'89 Ford Probe         -- '90  Sold when moved Texas to UK
'90 Voyager            -- '90  Sold when moved Texas to UK
'74 MGB                -- '91  Shipped Texas to UK. Sold in UK to a german.
'91 Rover 2000         -- '93  Not technically mine. Company car. Saw over 
130mph on autobahn.
'89 Volvo 440          -- '93  Incredible car. Must have had high perfomance 
chip put in engine management. Sold when moved Italy to CA
'93 Renault 19 turbo diesel -- '95 Sold when moved Italy to CA
'97 Grand Voyager      -- '97
'57 MGA                -- '97 Current daily driver (if weather dry)

What bothers me is the record of buying MGs -- the first was bought new, the 
second was 18 years old the last (and current) was 40 years old, what's 
next: a 60 year old MG?
