1974 Vauxhall Viva - a junkheap that I learned to drive on, lasted one year. It was blue on the outside, but the back doors were green on the inside. The pinstripe on the left was gold, and on the right was black.
1975 Renault 12 Estate - another junk heap. It was white, except for the front left wing which was dark green. Lasted 3 years.
1984 Renault 9 - in gold. Lasted a couple of years.
1987 Peugeot 309 - white. Drove it for a year, and gave it to my then wife.
1987 Rover 216 Gti Vitesse - in black. The first car I bought that was in decent order and cost more than a handful of change. This was the first car I took out a loan for.
1994 Rover 620i - in slate grey. The first nearly new car I ever had (I bought it when it was just 4 years old). It was lovely, but following a minor accident that left several body panels scratched (but not bent) was deemed to be too expensive to repair by my insurance company, who gave me a cheque for the residual value.
1997 Renault Megane Scenic in Maroon. I bought this for my wife to use, and gave it to her when we divorced. I kept the house. I heard later that she'd given it to her boyfriend shorlt before cheating on him and slitting up - I guess it was easier for her to make him leave when he had something to take his stuff in.
2001 Renault Megane Coupe 1.6l also in slate grey. Lovely car, destroyed by a drunk Irishman crashing a truck into a row of parked cars outside my house 2 seconds after I told my current wife that if there really was a God he'd give people obvious signs of his existence.
2000 Renault Megane Coupe 1.4l in silver. Bought with the insurance money from the wreck of the above.
2003 Mazda 6 TS - my current car.
