Our company car list went through a fairly long phase of just Vauxhall and Ford. Ford were a major customer and you weren't allowed to park anything other than a Ford in their HQ car park (Warley), and others I suspect, so anyone involved with the Ford account usually had a Ford.
Which suited me as my memory is that as a young man (not youth!) I recall you were pretty much either a Vx or Ford person, and I was a fordy, being an Essex boy. After the Leyland lumps of iron which were my first couple of cars, I was Ford from a MkII Cortina, a handful of Escorts and a Sierra, after which I branched out to Vauxhall - 2.6 Senator then 3.0 Omega with the ill-fated (creosoted) 3.2 Vectra there somewhere too. Then another Ford (Mondeo 2.5) then Focus then the Vauxhall Ampera which I now drive.
Somewhere in the earlier days I had a Hillman Avenger in lime green, which I thought was a really cool looking car.
