Motors I'd have back

Chorlton born, semi-retired and still allergic to spending a Saturday indoors. Between whisky tastings and vinyl digging I've spent thirty-odd years gawping at other people's motors outside pubs and car parks round Manchester, and this is the lot I'd actually hand over cash for. No Ferraris, no nonsense — just proper metal that made this rainy corner of the country feel a bit special. Tatton Park's classic car do every summer still gets me every time.

12Austin AllegroBritish Leyland family carSquare steering wheel, questionable styling, utterly beloved by weirdos like me.The nation's punchline. I'll defend it anyway, ey up.
13Rover SD1Executive hatchback saloonLooked like a Ferrari Daytona, built like it had a Monday hangover.Gorgeous shape, dodgy electrics. Bought one with your heart, not your head.
