'Marmite' Cars you have owned

My first car at 17 had a four cylinder 600cc motor but lacked a wheel but had four seats and a boot 
but as a poor apprentice it was better than getting the bus and my mates would swallow their pride for a lift home from the training centre and ride outs on a night and weekends ..... well it was warm and dry , ok I am going to come out and admit it was a Reliant Regal saloon but I refuse to post a picture of it as that's a step tooo far

I bought it for 700 quid off my boss at the time after someone wrote off my '87 Celica GTR. It was terribly built, with horrible interior plastics and generally crap apart from the Mazda V6 which never let me down. Plenty quick car for a 22 year old, and was the envy of my mates who were driving 1 litre Polo's and Fiestas. It had back seats, if you had no legs...
The handbrake failed on a hill once when it was parked up and I found it half a mile away imbedded in a fence

Love the mini!
Back in the 70's I needed to buy a car quick and opted for something practical.
N reg orange with dark blue plastic seats Morris Marina Estate.
It'd be a classic now
After only a few months I bumped it on black ice.
P/X it and bought a Vauxhall Magnum 2300 coupe yellow black vinyl roof.

Back when I was 17/18 I had three of those bad boys.. All "TC's" with the 1.8 B series and twin SU's - Was the envy of all of my mates in their 1000cc minis and 1.1 ford escorts . even if one of mine was "sh1te" brown :L
