    This was after the Sprite and the TR4A.
    Shifted from a house and three car garaging to an apartment with a single carport in 1995 so things had to change, the MG stayed to be replaced by an MX5, and the daily driver was a Daihatsu Feroza 4WD, then a Rover 216 Cabrio [ say Honda ] then a BMW 318 Compact, still have the MX5, back in NZ, under a tarp in a family carport [ Eddie Dowding's ] and in need of TLC, one day !!
    Current daily driver is a Suzuki SX4, as shown the Lakeside Sept 2015 thread. reliable, not up on stands or getting crawled under to tap the SU fuel pump. The double garage had a small pit where the Fiat is parked, so could do a lot of work at home.. too old now for that stuff !!

    Bracken '74 BGT in the foreground was bought to re-shell my old 'B roadster race car. I drove it for 2 weeks before it went in for a roll cage.

    Harvest Gold '73 BGT is / was my daily driver, I bought it on Boxing Day 1999.
