What did you have before a freelander?

Relative poverty restricted me to a 1995 Volvo 440 and before that a whole series of "bangers" which cost so little to buy and run.

The FL2 is the nicest and best car I've ever had.

What was your last motor before a FL2?

Jaguar X-Type
Mercedes C Class
Mercedes A Class

(Ahem!) Daewoo Matiz
Seat Ibiza GTi Cupra Sport
VW Polo

Disco2. Lovely but 11 years old and getting unreliable, so sold to a man in France!
Before that? In reverse order:
Disco 200Tdi
Freelander 1
Disco300 Tdi (from new - most unreliable car I've ever owned).
Jeep Cherokee
Freight-Rover Sherpa
Rover SD1
LWB Series 3 (ex-AA)
Triumph Sodomite
Morris Marina (it was a gift. Honest!)
Morris Oxford
Wolseley 16/60
Austin Cambridge
Bedford CA Utilabrake
Opel Kadett
Mini-van
The first seven were scrapped after my careful ownership, I fear!
