Who remembers these beauties?




... more importantly ... amongst the more senior Dibbers ... who actually owned one?

My grandad owned an early one with the indicators that flicked out the panel behind the driver's door. I also remember repairing those when I first started work in 1980. Still a few about even then with the Morris Oxford, Austin Cambridge, mgb etc. Happy days.

I’ve owned three over the years and my first car (1989) was a 1968 4 door saloon in rose taupe which was fabulous. It had it’s faults but I could usually fix it myself when I broke down. The heating only worked in summer, I got a shoe full of water when using the clutch after it had rained and I could turn the gearstick 360 degrees when in gear... fun times!

My 1st car! She was older than I was at the time and called Arabella, named by the neighbour I bought her from.
Fond memories of chugging up the local hills and the rusty holes in the foot wells too.

Never owned one but have been a passenger in a few.

Gosh they were so basic but then so were their counterparts from other manufacturers.
