Remember the family cars of the 1950s and 1960s like this Ford Prefect.
Ford Prefect 		The most famous of all family cars, the Mini, introduced in 1959.
Morris Mini 		Fords answer to the Mini in 1959 was the Anglia with his unusual "notchback" rear window.
Ford Anglia 		For the family with a bit more money and in need of luxury. How about a Vanden Plas Princess 1300 (on the right) or a mighty Morris 1800?
One-upman-ship 		Sport without the strain and pain. The Triumph Herald 13/60 Convertible on the left and the much more powerful six cylinder Triumph Vitesse Convertible on the right.
