Lots. But define owned? But........alot. They were all bought to make money on. Usually only worth it as I can weld and wield a spanner. Even an attack with sandpaper and filler.
Looking back I think it gave me great pleasure to get the car back on the road and sold. It was like a game, the haggling when buying and even the bartering when selling.
My dad used to do the same, so there were a few dealers that would offer us px of the wierd and wonderful, example is a y10 turbo with bent rear suspension, going to salvage auctions and even auctions. Even people 'give' me cars that have been in garages for a time example is a Lotus Eclat that had overheating issues that was a friend of a friends that I installed new wiring and ran radiator pipes round.
Suppose working with car people there are notice boards where I offer people silly money for cars and they accept the offer...Renault 14.
