Auto Trader

Are you a child or a parent of the 1970s? If so, you'll probably remember a steady stream of saloon cars taking you on your summer holidays.

Ford Cortinas, Austin Princesses and Triumph Stags are all some of the cars which would fill driveways across the land.

And with a new book – My Dad Had One of Those – out, we've taken a look back at some of the hits and misses of the decade of flares and 'tashes.

A quick straw poll of the Auto Trader editorial team revealed a Mk3 Cortina, a Lada 1300, an Austin Princess and a Hillman Imp among the family runabouts…ah those halcyon days.

Check out our review of My Dad Had One of Those, and don't forget to enter our competition.
