    My Grandad has loads of classic cars, but the regulars are:
    1959 Bentley Series 2 V8
    1934 Bedford (Idk model) 3.0 OHV i6. (with singing gearbox :p)
    Aston Martin V8 Volante (1978 onwards idk)
    Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham (with the biggest engine, not sure how big but it's bloody big :p) 70's
    Jaguar XJR 6.0 (acquired from new)
    Bentley Turbo R(bought from rental company)

    Thars all I can name at the moment, my Grandad is a millionaire (worked hard all his life, and it payed off) and he has collected all these cars over the years...

    I don't know much but my uncle who is dead as of now told me about how most of my relatives owned cars like Lotus Esprit, Jaguar XJ6, Datsun 240Z's and a 1968 Yutivo Camaro used to belong to my uncle, he sold it when i was 5 or 7, i remember that the car was red, i only saw the Esprit when i was 3 or 4, i think it was a 1977 or a '83 but the last time i heard about the Jaguar XJ6 and the Lotus Esprit was that it was sold to a junk shop and parted out, i don't know where the Camaro is now and i couldn't find any photos of the cars even though i looked through countless photo albums dating back to the 80's.

    My dad had 2 Triumph TR7s that he hoped to merge both into a single functioning car, he ended up selling them for scrap
