We had a Ford Anglia - white with dark green down those bits at the side. EVK 386C. (1965: but we got it in about 1969.) But you know what F.O.R.D. stands for, don't you? Fix It Again, Tony. Oh.  |

Sesley, we watched that programme last night. Mr. E's dad used to work in the foundry at Fords in Dagenham.
Mr. E. had a Ford Anglia (405 CYT) in 1970. It was his first car and it cost £35. It was grey and had rusty wings that occasionally used to be tarted up with Plastic Padding and chicken wire. And it once did 80 mph going down a hill in Devon.
We also had a Ford Corsair, which was probably our favourite car.
In the 60s, the one to own was a Lotus Cortina.

I didn't have a car licence until I was about 25. When I first met Mrs YI she had one of these:  I had what you might expect:  (Not that one.) |
