I've had at least one for the last 18 years, but my van has stayed the longest. I must have had it 10 years, my current coupe about 7 and my estate has been back a year which I owned for 2 years about 10 years ago. Before these I had had a couple of saloons and a GT Coupe which I should have kept but I think it is still alive and on the road in Ireland.

137 days. Feb 28th 2012 - July 15th 2012

1 x 1.3 SDL Coupe.

Still on the forum, trying to be helpful and hopefully not over stayed my welcome?
I'd still like to source restore a GT at some point in the future.

Oh dear, I may be betraying my age here but since my first in 1979 I have owned 47 Marinas in one form or another, the one I have kept the longest and still own is Doris the blue 1300 Super which I have kept within my possession since 1990, the other is the Mumford which I bought back in the 90`s, I still have a few waiting their turn in storage including a Jubilee TC, a 74 TC Coupe, a 71 1300 Saloon, and two ST Coupes (one of which is nearly finished), so 7 in all at the moment...unless anyone fancies taking one on ;)
