    Parents had a gold one. Not a bad car at all. It had a mis match of Chrysler and Talbot badges!. They then went to buy 3 Solara's in a row though :confused:

    The European Car of the Year is a roll call of shame! ;) (deffo some clunkers in there)

    Full list of 1st/2nd/3rd places with some interesting examples of where the runners up clearly turned out to be much important than the winner in terms of influence.

    The only one I remember in my family is an 1982 one that was bought in the mid 1990s by an uncle of mine who lives in Scotland. He paid £30 for it from someone at a breaker's yard in Aberdeen and just filled it with petrol and drove it all the way from Aberdeen to visit us in Donegal the very next day after he bought it. He put a further 80,000 miles on it before it lost the battle with rust and I don't think he had any real problems with it. I do recall it being one of the most comfortable cars I have ever been in, it just flattened out the worst bumps Donegal back roads could throw at it. Noisy though, and an awfully tappety engine.
