Most reliable car I've owned: A 1979 MkII Escort 1.3 The car was a year older than me, drove it for 7 years without a single mechanical breakdown. Got through the usual exhausts and tyres but never failed to start. Bought it for £250 and after 7 years of happy (albeit slightly slow) motoring, flogged it for £250.

Now that's what I call a good car, zero faults, zero depreciation. Why oh why did I sell it?
