OK...

I've got 5 with my name on the V5.

1978 Dolly Sprint V8
1974 MG Midget
1972 Commer Highwayman Camper
1988 Lancia Y10 1.1 LX (LHD, for the Plymouth-Banjul Challenge)
1997 Saxo 1.1 ("The Modern")

But I have to maintain the good lady's 1995 Cavalier as well.

I picked up a copy of Practical Classics a couple of years ago. It had an article in it entitled "Flog the Focus, buy a fleet!". So I did, muich to the bemusement of my good lady.

I only have the one single garage, but it has got proper electrics :D

This is time taken at the Sprint not necessary time worked.

Working on a ratio of just 7Hrs a day not including driving to the Sprint.
That equals to 68 days that doesn’t include weekends.

I have 6.

My Triumphs are listed below. I also have an accident damaged Renault Laguna estate which I ended up buying off my mate after I'd damaged it.
This is what it looked like before it was damaged.

This what it looked like soon after the accident.

The car is still there and occupying the space where I kept Snowdrop. As Snowdrop's a daily driver it isn't a problem at the moment.

I've got far too many cars...
