OK, I'll start. Being a Ford apprentice at Hendy - Lennox between 1969 and 1974, my first car was a .....
1. 195x 375 Consul - 1 YHT, wish I'd kept that  , she through a rod
2. MK3 1964 Zodiac, RUST
3. Mk3 1965 Zodiac, near mint, bought her for £150, sold for £300 - 1972 to 1974
4. MK1 1964 Capri RUST
5. Mk1a Capri 3ltr GT, I fitted an Oxygen bottle to this one, gave it a bit more go
6. Mk1a face lift Capri 3ltr GXL Great fun in the wet!
7. 1966 Ford Corsair, with a V6 3 ltr lump and 2000E gearbox
8. Ford Anglia, with a 1600 Xflow lump, twin 45DCOE's
Not in that order by the way. From 1971 to 1981 with 5 years without a car due to working on a ship, hired a car when I needed to.
Woops.....
9. 1998 Ford Scorpio
That's it, over to you guys.

My list is short enough..
1987 mk3 Granny 2.4i V6
1995 Scorpio 2.0i 16v
The granny was the most fun (big lump up front, no weight at all over the drive wheels, nice V6 wroar when pushing it), while the '95 is definately the most comfy of the two and a lot more balanced in the winter.
