My Dad had a Fiat 131 (supermirafiori??) way back when, in Lord blue. How do I remember...? He was keen to tell me that the Fiat Uno I bought in 1992 was the same colour :)
Don’t remember him having a Mark 1 Cavalier, though do recall an Opel Manta Berlinetta (1.9? Again in a dark blue). There was one glorious year, 1984, when both my parents had beige Cavalier mark 2s. One hatch, 1.6L and an estate, a 1.6 GL. I learned to drive in the hatchback... Simpler times ;) He’s always played pretty safe with his car choices I think; certainly no shockers. Unlike my grandfather who, in the period I can remember, had 2 Maxis in a row, an Allegro, a Montego estate, and a Rover 216!!
