I had a Grandstand 6000 then a Commodre Vic 20 follwed by a Spectrum +2.

I still have the Spectrum +2 in working order with 300 plus games and I also have one of these in the original box.
 
Commodore Vic 20, I couldn't afford the C64. I was too busy using my 'bits' for the population-explosion. After that they were all self builds - kids and computers
