My parents didn't have a car until I was about 7, a Ford Anglia 105E, then when I was 9 a Ford Zephyr MKIV.

But earlier than that, I travelled in my Great-Grandad's Mini, an early style one, white with red roof IIRC.
And my Grandad had a blue Hillman Imp, followed by a white two-door Morris Minor. I had been in previous cars to these but do not recall them.
My Grandmother had a Mini van and a Morris Minor van though I remember no details.
My dad's sister had a grey and a black Morris Oxford (one was a spares car) like this one
                                                                                                                                                 
a later estate version (which might have been an Austin Cambridge) like this one
                                                                                                                                               
and a Reliant Rialto (aka car version of Trotter's van) which allegedly had a jam-jar on the dashboard to contain the petrol (thinking about it, that might have been a bodge for the choke)!

Edit: Looking at that list, not a single import!

1947 Hillman Minx.  Bought for £25 in 1962 (so already 15 years old).  Lasted about another 2 years.  The L-plate wasn't for me; probably a mate..

The Minor, Oxford and Mini were all Issigonis designs; then Morris/Austin went to Pininfarina for the 1960s cars' styling.

My Dad had a Morris Marina, red like this one with light tan vinyl seats and sh*t brown dashboard. Somewhere there a picture of little me, sat in the back asleep with his teddy bear - it will not be seeing the light of day

                                                                                                                                               

His dad had a 1800 in this colour:

                                                                                                                                               

I can remember Dad's going rather rusty (no surprise...) and was replaced with a Mk2 Cavalier. Grandad stayed (sort of) faithful to the brand and got a Maestro which was to be his last car.

My first car was a 1981 Ford Fiesta Ghia MK1.  
1100cc, two tone blue and silver 3 door hatchback.
