Tony Fry interview

Tony Fry(79) was born in 1936, around the time that cars were starting to evolve, so I have interviewed him to ask him a series of questions about his cars.

Q1:What was your first car?
A:It was a 1934 Austin Seven. It had comfortable blow-up seats which tended to deflate within the time limit of 2 hours which meant blowing them up over and over, like mouth-to-mouth resusitation.  

Q2:What did you like/dislike about that car?

A: What I particularly liked about it was its reliability. It was already 25 years old when I bought it for £25! I used to drive from Twyford, England to the Intelligence Corps HQ every weekend whilst doing my basic training.   

Q3:How many cars have you owned? What were they?A:From memory I owned at least 23 cars: Austin 7, Armstrong Siddeley, Austin 10 (2), Renault 4 (2), Peugeot 205, Minis (3), Vauxhall Cavalier, VW Cabriolet, VW Saloon, Mazda MX5 (4), Fords (various) including a posh cabriolet and now the latest Citroen DS3.  

Q4:What car do you want to buyA:I would love to have a Mercedes Benz 220 SL sports car, "so what are you going to do about it"! 

Thank you Tony Fry (grandpa) for your time!

Volvo Amazon Part 2

Volvo Amazon

This Volvo Amazon is a is a 3-door, 4-seater sedan model. There were 3 models of the Amazon; the first one is this three-door sedan, the second one was a five-door sedan and the last was a classic station wagon. The Volvo Amazon was first shown in April 1956 at the New York International Auto Show. The thing that stood out with this car was that it was the first ever car to have standard seat belts in the front two seats. Production was stopped in 1970 when cars were becoming a bit more classy and technical, but unfortunately Volvo wasn't very good at that and started producing big, ugly, boring cars like the 850 R. But a few years ago Volvo made a miraculous come-back by making much better cars like the V60 and the V40. This car was a forgotten treasure that is still to be found; and even though it is an old and tired car, it still has its charm!

Volvo Amazon Part 1

Volvo Amazon

The Volvo Amazon was my Dad's first car so this post in behalf of him (he is still alive). This car to me looks majestic and strong and the same time as civilised and luxurious. It is something a wealthy middle-aged man would turn up in at a posh  restaurant with his beautiful wife, but yet still have no idea what wine to order.

Jaguar F-Type Coupe

Jaguar F-Type Coupe

The Jaguar F-Type has been my favourite car ever since I first saw it! Just looking at it makes you shiver, and it is not some fast, exotic expensive sports car that is too big to fit on a regular city street. It is a a good size; delightful to drive; and, for what you're given, it is really not that expensive! Top Gear ex-presenter Jeremy Clarkson said that this car was "sodding good"! And I agree!!
