Not many. When I find something I like I keep it for a long time.

1972 Mini Clubman GT (1977 to present day).
Looks similar to British 1275 GT but Oz versions (only manufactured 1971-72) got full Morris/Austin Cooper S mechanicals (80bhp, 1.3, nitrided crank, twin carbs, big valves, oil cooler, close ratio box, disc brakes, twin tanks, etc). My first car (my parents bought it new). I used to use it in motor sport on Sundays and drive it to work Mondays. I'll never sell this one (too rare now).

1972 Mini Clubman GT (about 1980 to 1982).
Yes, I had a second one for a while (matching colours). My friends said the two Minis looked like a pair of bookends.

1973 Mercedes-Benz 350SLC (1983 to present day).
My first MB although I used to drive my parent's '72 280SE-3.5 and my brother's '65 220S occasionally prior to this. This was my daily driver up until this year. Needs cosmetic work so I don't know whether to keep it or find a better one. I still love the W107s. A classic that drives like a modern car.

1983 Ford Laser (1989 to 1994).
A re-badged Mazda 323. My wife's car when we married. Economical but not much else.

1980 Mercedes-Benz 300TD (1994 to 1998).
Replacement for wife's Laser. A very tidy W123 wagon that took concours class wins. Practical but boring.

1992 Mercedes-Benz 180E (1998).
Oz low spec version of a 190E-1.8. Bought this to use as a daily driver because it had only 24,000km and a manual tranny. Good handling but lethargic. Sold it (to my father, brother now owns it) after a few months.

1990 Mercedes-Benz 300TE (1998 to present day).
Replacement for wife's 300TD. A regular concours class winner. A superb car in every respect. We love the W124 wagon and plan to keep it for a long time yet.

1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E-2.3 Sportline (2003 to present day).
My current daily driver. I couldn't resist this one for its original condition, rarity and 5-speed manual tranny. Most W201s here are 1.8 and 2 litre with autos. Sportline (very rare here) handling is great and I'm really enjoying this car.

1963 VW Bug (Looked like crap, but ran like a spotted ape!)
1966 VW Bug (In the garage, almost done restoring...shall be beautiful)
1983 MB 240D 4Spd... (Waiting for new engine on Saturday after Cylinder failure on the 15th of October, technically belongs to parents, but I drive it and bust my ass over it fixing the problems that arise occasionally)

You can almost tell the progression of one's life by the trail of cars they own. Started out with cheap economy cars; progressed to the first of several sports cars while owning family type cars and mini-vans; finally, the every day car, the kid's cars and my Benz. That was a trip down memory lane, huh?
