At current I have two motor cars. I have only ever owned three cars myself in my motoring career, which started in 2009. My first car was a 1990 SEAT Marbella 850cc. Originally a licenced copy of the Fiat Panda, when SEAT was purchased by Volkswagen and no longer owned by Fiat a design change was initiated and the SEAT Marbella was it’s own car. The cheapest car you could get in the market new from £3,000. It was discontinued in 1996 in this country.
In 2010 I purchased a 1991 Peugeot 205, 1.1 litre (five speed-oooh). I still own this car and regularly drive it. It was purchased at 110k miles and to this date (23/07/16) only has 132k. 8k of that being mileage abroad. I have been happily driving it determined for it to be a machine i’ll have forever. It is interesting that it is the same age as me; perhaps we will ‘grow old’ together. Haha.
